Christmas bubbles

A toast brings people together and lifts the spirits. At Christmas and New Year, the glass takes centre stage at parties, but it must be chosen with care. From the hills of Spessa di Cividale, Optimum Millesimato di Ribolla Gialla Spumante and Ribolla Gialla Zorzettig are two wines recommended by the editorial staff at Deluxu.it.
‘Moments of authentic conviviality that Annalisa Zorzettig celebrates with Friuli's symbolic grape variety, Ribolla Gialla, in two different expressions: Optimum Millesimato di Ribolla Gialla Spumante and Ribolla Gialla Zorzettig,’ explains the company. "Friulian wine is the truest story of our territory: it speaks of authenticity, bonds and sharing. Ribolla Gialla, in particular, is a wine that invites you to get together and toast life with spontaneity and joy." 
Optimum Millesimato di Ribolla Gialla Spumante is made from Ribolla Gialla grapes grown in the Friuli hills, where the marly soil and breezy microclimate give it freshness and aromatic finesse. Sparkling wine made using the long Charmat method, it is distinguished by a fine and persistent perlage that accompanies an elegant bouquet of white flowers, citrus fruits and green apple. It is a sparkling wine that speaks the language of lightness and conviviality: perfect for aperitifs with friends, it naturally accompanies finger food, fish canapés and gourmet crostini.
