Featured Recipe Pairing

Frittata Lorraine

This recipe blends bacon, Gruyère cheese and leeks-the key ingredients of a classic quiche Lorraine-into a savory frittata. It’s easier to prepare than a quiche since no crust is required. Serve for a springtime brunch or a simple supper.

Additional Wine Information

Story

Red wines from Sicily’s Mount Etna have been impressing the wine world for years now, but the region turns out little sparkling wine (spumante). So we were intrigued to taste this cuvee from Murgo, one of Etna’s top producers. Capped by a 10,900-foot summit, Etna possesses a vastly cooler climate than that of the sea-level vineyards below. That, combined with its minerally volcanic soils, makes for a grape-growing environment whose hardships produce exactly the kind of stresses vines need to produce extraordinary wine. The barons del Murgo have long owned vast tracts on Etna’s southeastern slopes. In 1981 the current baron, Emanuele Scammacca del Murgo, completely modernized the family’s winemaking operations. This winning rose made from the local Nerello Mascalese grape is a fantastic example of the winery’s success.

Sense

Fragrant wild strawberry aromas mingle with a hint of dried mint.

Savor

A fine silky mousse tops this sparkling rose, which combines vivid red berry flavors with bright acidity and a crisp, dry finish.

Serve

Delicious with food or by itself, the Murgo Rose Spumante makes a fabulous choice for an aperitif. Paired with a charcuterie, smoked fish or cheese platter, its refreshing flavors will cut the food’s richness and saltiness, and can handle bold spices like those found in Calabrese salami and peppery sopressata. Alternatively, serve the Murgo at the table, alongside nearly anything. Spicy foods, sausages, salads, seafood, poultry and pork will all be delicious with its bright fruit and zesty acidity.
