Wine also has its own unique place in the summer
Sparkling wine, white wine and rosé wine can all bring a refreshing and elegant drinking experience.
Sparkling wine is the best choice for summer coolness
Sparkling wine, known for its rich bubbles, high acidity, and refreshing taste, is a popular choice for many summer gatherings. Both Champagne and Italian sparkling wine Prosecco offer a delightful drinking experience.
- Champagne: Complex taste, fine bubbles, suitable for celebratory occasions.
- Italian sparkling wine: Affordable, fresh, and suitable for everyday drinking.

Red wine – light and elegant
Although red wines often give people the impression of being heavy, red wines with lively acidity and soft tannins such as Primitivo Tormaresca Neprica and Malbec Casarena Reserve are also very suitable for drinking in summer when chilled.
