Bianco Frizzante Sofia Brescia

Citrus, Asian pear, Acacia honey, Jasmine, and a touch of sea salt all grace the nose and palate of this charming frizzante. This white wine is absolutely lovely and fresh, the ‘frizzante’ element of the wine expresses itself as a light spritz in the glass, and it’s just absolutely perfect for an end of the day “pick-me-up” or a weekend brunch.

Pairing: Alone as an aperitif, alongside appetizers, and next to dishes that are slightly spicy or salty. We love this next to our favorite Vietnamese, Thai, or Japanese dishes that play with those flavors. We also love J. Kenji López-Alt’s “The Wok,” and are sharing his recipe for San Francisco-Style Vietnamese American Garlic Noodles as pairing inspiration today.

About. From the foothills of the Alps on the east side of the province of Vicenza, vineyards planted upwards of 30 years ago bear fruit of the Glera and Garganega grapes. The winery works sustainably, and in concert with the local eco-system. Grasses and flowers grow between the rows. Sofia Brescia is a name given to honor to previous generation of wine growers, many of who were women that have been forgotten by historical naming conventions.
