What are the best wines for summer?
Summer brings with it the heat of the sun, long light-filled days and evenings that invite relaxation and celebration. Nature is dressed in vibrant colors, and we also seek freshness and lightness in our glasses. In this season, the choice of wine reflects the desire for lively and refreshing flavors, perfect for accompanying fresh and convivial foods. Sparkling and white wines with their sparkling acidity are ideal for aperitifs, fish dishes, salads and fruit. Rosés, with their fruity aromas and delicacy, are perfectly suited for picnics and barbecues. And for red, we prefer the fresher and lighter ones, perfect for grilled meats, barbecued vegetables and soft cheeses.
We have selected the best summer wines from our cellar to make your summer days and evenings even more special. Get ready to discover labels that will enhance every moment of your summer with unique and refreshing flavors.
SPARKLING WINES: THE PERFECT CHOICE FOR SUMMER
When temperatures rise and the desire for coolness kicks in, sparkling wines become the undisputed stars of our summer tables. With their lively character and bubbles that caress the palate, these wines are ideal for every occasion, from a poolside aperitif to an elegant dinner under the stars.
Our selection of sparkling wines for this summer includes labels such as Diadema Blanc de Blanc Brut, our first classic method with an elegant and refreshing taste, perfect for summer. Its fruity and mineral notes, combined with a creamy finish, make it ideal to accompany fish dishes, shellfish and sweet desserts.
Another excellent choice is Charme Spumante Brut Svizzera IGT, vinified by the long Charmat method. This sparkling wine combines Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Merlot for a dry, savory taste. Its fruity and fragrant notes, combined with a fine and persistent perlage, make it ideal for cheeses, aperitifs and fish appetizers.

Want to refresh even more and seek a fruity taste? Why not go for a Bellini,
the long drink of excellence for sparkling wine.
Preparation is very simple, just put ice cubes in the glass (or in a carafe, if you prepare it to enjoy with friends), pour in the white peach puree and finally add Charme Spumante Brut.
If you want to surprise with a nice brunch instead, you can make a fantastic Mimosa; simply prepare fresh orange juice and add Charme Spumante Brut.
Two simple ideas, but they will certainly brighten your days!
