Cester Camillo Rosé Cuvée Extra Dry
(Pack Contains 2 x Bottles of 750mL)
What does our Somm say?
Technically, ‘Pink Prosecco’ doesn’t exist, but this is as close as you’d get to that. This Rosé Cuvée from Cester Camillo uses a base of ‘Extra Dry’ Prosecco, with extra complexity added to the tint and flavour profile by bleeding in skin contact with the red grape Raboso.
Mostly, this wine shines when appreciated with a cheese platter or by itself.
However, if you’d like to enjoy with a dish, you need to respect that it’s delicate. By this, I mean, best to match it with risotto’s, white meats, shellfish, grilled fish, sushi or sashimi. Personally, I enjoy it with a light salad or snapper (in a fennel and lemon sauce).

What does Rosé Cuvée mean?
While the term ‘Cuvee’ is French and has its origins in French winemaking, in the instance of this wine, the ‘Cuvée’ refers to the fact that the wine is made using a blend of wine from multiple vats, whereas the ‘Rosé’ is a nod to its beautiful colour.

- Raboso 5% (Skin Contact for bleeding colour and complexity of flavour only)

Cester Camillo Prosecco D.O.C Treviso Brut
(Pack Contains 2 x Bottles of 750mL)
What does our Somm say?
Generally speaking, any creamy, buttery, fried or spicy food will be enhanced if you match it to Prosecco.
Prosecco has traditionally been enjoyed as an ‘Aperitivo’ (before dinner drinks), or post meal drop. That’s not to say you can’t pair it with some delicious bites and enhance your food!
The acidity and dry notes of this prosecco work well with fried entrees (samosa’s, whitebait, potato chips, even buttered popcorn!), seafood. Cheese of the same region, such as Asiago or Trevigiana obviously works as a historic food companion, however a creamy Brie works too!
