APERITIF BOXED WINES

THE PERFECT APERITIF WINES
Thinking to about aperitif wines, the imagination often immediately runs to sparkling and sparkling bubbles. However, for those who appreciate the artisanal quality and simplicity of a good still wine, there are excellent alternatives worth exploring. Especially for those who choose the convenience of bag-in-box wine, still wines can become the true protagonists of a daily aperitif, without sacrificing taste and quality. Below is the definitive guide to wines to tap to make all your friends happy:

• Fruity and light white wines such as a Trebbiano or a white wine from Emilia based on Malvasia di Candia such as that of the Saccomani winery, are perfect for a simple and informal aperitif. They normally appear a beautiful straw yellow to the eye and give a bouquet with tones of ripe white pulp fruit, fresh flowers and tropical and citrus accents. The sip is thin, smooth and fresh and leaves the mouth clean without ever making the drink heavy. The perfect pairing for these wines can be a platter of fresh goat's cheeses accompanied by honey and homemade fruit compotes, the classic chips straight from the bag, stuffed hard-boiled eggs, skewers of mozzarella and cherry tomatoes flavored with basil and savory pies of vegetables cut into pieces.
• Savory and mineral white wines such as a Sardinian Vermentino or a Riesling that you can find in the Exclusives selection, are truly perfect for a toast with more summery and holiday accents. Their secret lies in a light smell composition, with notes of aromatic herbs, freshly cut grass, flint and white flowers, which give way to a straight, savory and mineral taste that leaves a pleasantly salty memory in the mouth that makes you crave of a new sip. We recommend pairing these boxed aperitif wines with classic popcorn still hot from popping in a pan, cod meatballs served with lime mayonnaise, the typical Ligurian focaccia also in variations with stracchino or with Taggiasca olives and Venetian sandwiches.
• Fresh and floral rosé wines: such as a Piedmontese Rosé made from Barbera grapes which can offer you an extra touch of freshness. For lovers of Provencal-style rosés characterized by a light hue and a purely fruity and floral profile, we recommend the Rosè Wine Isola dei Nuraghi. If you prefer a deeper, more vibrant rosé, almost red in colour and personality, yet incredibly fresh to drink, the Rosato Cirelli is the perfect choice; a juicy, convivial wine with a distinctly Mediterranean character. With these wines, bruschetta cannot be missing, the classic ones with tomato, garlic and oregano, puff pastry savories, pizzas, but also some more delicious fish-based dishes such as raw prawns, amberjack tartare and mussel soup in which to drown some toasted bread.
• Light and drinkable red wines: for those who love red wines, there is no need to wait for the meal to sip them. Grape varieties such as Dolcetto or Grignolino can be the ideal choice for a more rustic aperitif, as well as Vino da Sete, a funky and pleasant red based on Barbera and Sangiovese. With their medium body and soft tannins, a fruity nose of red fruits and undergrowth and a graceful and smooth sip, these wines also pair perfectly with aperitif time. Never drink on an empty stomach: set the table with peppers and anchovies, knife-cut fassona tartare and sweet, thin raw ham, a few breadsticks or mother-in-law's tongue on the side and happy hour is saved.
