In spring, opt for light white or rosé wines. These wines are usually fresher and perfect for warm weather, as they won’t weigh you down. They can be enjoyed both with meals and simply while chatting with friends.

Try: Matua (a fresh and fruity Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand).

Chardonnay white wines have a fresh, fruity flavor and pair wonderfully with spring salads, seafood, and light soups. They have a delicate acidity that provides a refreshing effect on warm days. If you simply want to enjoy wine with your meal, white and rosé wines go well with light dishes (like fish and salads), while red wines pair best with meat dishes.

If you want to truly emphasize the flavor of the wine, selecting the right snacks is key. Meat or cheese platters are the best companions, as they enhance the wine’s aromatic and flavor characteristics. Moreover, many producers provide recommendations on their labels or websites about which dishes pair best with their wines.
You can use these suggestions to make your tasting experience even more enjoyable.

Rosé wines are an excellent choice for spring — light and refreshing. They often have fruity and floral notes, making them perfect for picnics or outdoor evening gatherings with friends.

Try: Calalenta Rosé (an Italian rosé wine with fresh red fruit notes).

In spring, it’s best to choose wines with lower alcohol content to keep things light. Typically, white and rosé wines have less alcohol, allowing you to enjoy several glasses without feeling heavy.

If you want to make your evening more festive, sparkling wines are an excellent choice. A light Prosecco is perfect for spring celebrations, especially when served with fresh fruit.

Try: Astoria Butterfly Prosecco (an Italian sparkling wine with a delicate fruity aroma).

White wines should be served chilled, but not ice-cold (adding ice cubes directly to the glass is a real no-no). The ideal temperature is between 8–12°C (46–54°F). This way, you’ll enjoy their freshness without dulling their subtle flavors. Red wines are best served at room temperature, but not too warm (around 15–18°C or 59–64°F), to preserve their delicacy.

At the VINO&VINO pop-up store and other branches, you’re welcome to consult freely with the sales staff, who love their work and are ready to share their knowledge. They can help you choose the perfect wine for your taste, mood, and occasion—even if you don’t know much about wine.

Wine isn’t the only option. If you want to try something else, Limoncello pairs wonderfully with the freshness of spring. You can serve Limoncello chilled or make a homemade “Limoncello Spritz” cocktail. You’ll only need a few ingredients: Limoncello, Prosecco, sparkling water, ice, and to garnish — a lemon slice and fresh mint.

Try: Pallini Limoncello (an Italian lemon liqueur with a refreshing and pleasantly sweet taste).

Remember, the art of enjoying wine isn’t governed by strict rules. It doesn’t matter if you’re drinking from an elegant glass or a regular one, alone or with friends. Drink what you like, how you like it, and savor the spring atmosphere.
