"Bacio di Bolle" translates to "Kiss of Bubbles," a playful name that belies the serious quality within this "Brut Grand Cuvée." The "Brut" designation indicates a dry style, meaning very little residual sugar, while "Grand Cuvée" signifies a wine crafted from a selection of the finest grape juices, often from multiple vintages and vineyards, blended to achieve a consistent and superior quality. While its specific origin may be from a reputable European sparkling wine region (such as Prosecco, Franciacorta, or even a less traditional region known for quality), it embodies the crisp, dry, and elegant characteristics of a premium brut sparkling wine. The winemaking process is designed to highlight its natural acidity, structure, and fine perlage.
On the nose, Bacio di Bolle Brut Grand Cuvée offers an inviting bouquet of crisp green apples, bright citrus notes (lemon zest, grapefruit), and often subtle hints of white flowers, with a delicate underlying complexity of toasted nuts or brioche, typical of quality sparkling wines. The palate is wonderfully effervescent and dry, with a fine, persistent mousse and a harmonious balance of lively acidity and subtle fruit. Flavours of tart apple, lemon, and a delicate minerality lead to a remarkably clean, crisp, and refreshing finish that is both invigorating and elegantly long-lasting. Its brilliant pale golden hue and fine, persistent bubbles are visually enchanting.
Ideally served well-chilled at 6-8°C, Bacio di Bolle Brut Grand Cuvée is a remarkably versatile sparkling wine. It excels as a sophisticated aperitif, a superb companion to a wide range of savoury dishes, from fresh seafood and oysters to roasted chicken, charcuterie, and light cheeses. Even during New Zealand's cooler winter months, its crisp acidity and invigorating bubbles offer a brilliant contrast to richer flavours, making it perfect for celebrating intimate moments or adding a touch of grandeur to any gathering.
