Open up a box of impeccable flavors, floral aromas, delicate colors, and enchanting history when you receive your collection of four critically acclaimed Italian sparkling white wines. You'll find labels and vintages from boutique wineries that are hard to find outside of Italy, with high critic scores and competitive prices, and which have been skillfully curated by an exceptional sommelier team. Included in your collection are descriptive notes for each wine and a video presentation and guided tasting by a knowledgeable sommelier.

You'll receive a collection made up of 12 bottles that perfectly represents the best terroirs for sparkling wine in one of the most important wine regions of the world. Of the four kinds of Italian wine you'll receive, two will be prosecco, Italy's delicious answer to champagne. Unlike France's sparkling wine, prosecco is aged in stainless steel tanks, giving this wine great freshness and fruit flavor. Prosecco Superiore Cartizze Brut PDC is a dry wine that is direct on the tip of the tongue, leaves a delicate bitter after taste of almond, and pairs beautifully with raw or cooked fish, white meat, risotto, and aged cheeses. Also made from the Glera, formerly known as the Prosecco grape, is Prosecco Superiore Lucchetta Calpena Extra Dry, which offers aromas of hay and dried grass backed by peach and citrus; it pairs perfectly with lightly fried vegetable tempura. Made from Nebbiolo grapes, Cuvee 970 Origo-Ginis Brut Rose is aged 8-12 months before release to fully capture a level of effervescence similar to Champagne. It makes a refreshing aperitif, a great match for fish-based dishes, and is ideal for serving throughout a meal, especially in summer. The Franciacorta Mirabella Saten Brut you'll receive is hard to find, and boasts delicate notes of yeast and baked bread with a sophisticated fruitiness, golden apple, and banana. This wine is balanced, with a medium texture, a pleasant aftertaste, and perfect acidity.
