Light and Sparkly for the Summer

The summertime is the best time for light and sparkly sips.

I would recommend a sparkling pink Prosecco, a fun and frothy Italian sparkling wine, as an ideal quaff to greet the season. This fun rose-colored sparkler makes an even better solution for those steamy evenings when you need a salad for dinner because even with air-conditioning, you really don't want to see a flame on top of the stove or fire up the grill.

Some that may work for you are:

Cantine Riondo "Pink" Prosecco Raboso
De Faveri Spumante Rosé Extra Dry
Anime Pink Prosecco
Bartolomeo Prosecco Marzemino Vino Spumante Rosato Extra Dry

The pink bubbly adds a little special feeling to a normal summer day and we still have a few more of them left. Pair with salads, cheeses, vegetarian dishes, meatless pastas, or simply sipping.
