Italian Summer Favorites!

Italian Summer Favorites!

When it comes to wine, Italy is known for producing some of the world's best and most diverse varieties. With so many options to choose from, it can be overwhelming to find the perfect summer sipper. At Crown Liquors, we've curated a list of our favorite Italian wines that are sure to impress and refresh during those hot summer months. From crisp rosés to full-bodied reds, we have something for everyone.

One of our favorite picks for summer is the Luigi Giordano Nebbiolo Rosé. This elegant wine is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, which are typically used to create full-bodied reds in the Piedmont region of Italy. Mr. Giordano's expertise and innovative approach to winemaking shine through in this beautifully crafted rosé. With its notes of strawberries, cherries, and a hint of spice, this wine pairs perfectly with light salads, grilled seafood, or a cheese board.

If you're looking for a bold and complex red wine for those meaty summer barbecues, the Argiolas Costera Cannonau di Sardegna is a must-try. Made from the Cannonau grape, which is native to the island of Sardinia, this wine boasts flavors of ripe berries, black pepper, and a touch of vanilla. The wine's robust structure and smooth tannins make it the perfect pairing for grilled meats, spicy dishes, or strong cheeses.

For a lighter-bodied red wine that's perfect for sipping on a warm summer night, try the Duca di Salaparuta Frappato. This Sicilian wine is made from the Frappato grape, which is known for producing wines that are fruity, floral, and aromatic. With its notes of red cherries, raspberries, and violets, this wine pairs perfectly with light pasta dishes, grilled vegetables, or a simple cheese plate.

If you're looking to switch things up and try something bubbly, the Riunite Lambrusco is an excellent choice. This sparkling red wine from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy is made from the Lambrusco grape and has a rich, fruit-forward flavor. Its effervescence and sweetness make it the perfect pairing for spicy dishes, barbecue, or even chocolate desserts.

At Crown Liquors, we're passionate about bringing you the best Italian wines to help you make the most out of your summer. Whether you're looking for a crisp rosé, a bold red, or a bubbly sparkler, our collection has something for every palate.
