Circolo Lemon Spritz

This is a flavoured sparkling rosé that combines traditional winemaking with citrus infusion, creating a spritz-style drink. Unlike conventional sparkling wines that rely solely on grape characteristics, this blend incorporates natural lemon flavours to create a refreshing aperitif-style beverage. The addition of citrus elements makes it more approachable for casual drinkers while maintaining the elegance of sparkling rosé.

The bright citrus and light berry flavours make this perfect with seafood dishes, particularly prawns, oysters, or grilled fish with herbs. It also complements Mediterranean cuisine like antipasto platters, goat cheese salads, and light pasta dishes. The crisp, clean finish cuts through rich foods beautifully, making it an excellent aperitif before dinner or alongside summer barbecues.

Serve well-chilled at 6-8°C in a wine glass rather than a champagne flute to allow the citrus aromas to develop fully. The wider bowl of a wine glass enhances the grapefruit and lemon zest notes while maintaining the effervescence. Consider garnishing with a twist of fresh lemon peel or a few berries to complement the existing flavour profile.

Absolutely - the familiar citrus flavours and light, refreshing style make this very approachable for wine newcomers. The natural fruit flavours mask any harsh tannins or complex wine characteristics that might intimidate beginners. Its 'dangerously drinkable' nature and clean finish appeal to those who typically prefer cocktails or flavoured beverages over traditional wines.

Non-vintage (NV) allows the winemaker to blend wines from multiple years to achieve consistent flavour and quality in every bottle. For a flavoured sparkling wine like this, NV status ensures the citrus and berry balance remains reliable across productions. This approach prioritises consistent taste experience over vintage variation, which is ideal for a casual, everyday drinking style that consumers can rely on.
