Do not use the freezer, but rather the<strong> bottom of the refrigerator<\/strong>, or the ice bucket. Accompany the cork to the exit, as the bang is a sign of bad taste (with exceptions I might add). Use the appropriate tongs if necessary.<\/p>\n\n<p>Serve in tall, narrow <strong>flutes<\/strong>, but not for Asti, in which case <strong>cup<\/strong> is a must.<\/p>\n\n<p>With <strong>seafood cuisine<\/strong>, no special sauces, drink dry sparkling wines. With panettone, fruit cakes and tarts, mousses, fine pastries prefer sweet and aromatic sparkling wines. With <strong>chocolate<\/strong> and derivatives try sparkling wines from black grape varieties, namely <strong>brachetto and malvasia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Best wishes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Bubbles mon amour&#8221; one might say, in fact sparkling wines are on the rise in Italy and around the world.
