For NYE… Italian Sparkling Rosé
Made with a delicious blend of the finest Italian harvest of Glera and Pinot Noir grapes, Freixenet’s Italian Sparkling Rosé is sure to sparkle on your dinner table. This sparkler is a sophisticated balance of fragrant red summer fruits with underlying hints of white flowers and apples and soft, effervescent bubbles in a show-stopping bottle.
This is the type of bottle you’ll want to bring out at your NYE party to really win over your guests or gift this one to your rosé-loving friends.
For Christmas dinner… Sauvignon Blanc
If you’re looking for a crowd-pleaser to serve at your Christmas dinner, go for Freixenet’s Sauvignon Blanc. With grapes grown in Spain, this wine is a good example of a warm climate Sauvignon Blanc.
Boasting an intense and explosive nose, this wine has notes of tropical fruits like lychee and pineapple, with a dry, refreshing finish.
For buffets… Chianti D.O.C.G.
If you’re wanting to serve a nice bottle of red with your Boxing Day buffet, look to Freixenet’s Chianti D.O.C.G.
Made from traditional grapes grown in the namesake region of Tuscany, this wine offers up tones of wild berries, complemented by lightly spiced notes and violet aromas. Pair this one with pasta dishes, pizza or Christmassy meat platters.
