MIXING WITH PROSECCO
Elevate Cocktails with Fiol Prosecco Rooted in generations-old winemaking traditions, Fiol was founded by three friends from Treviso, each a wine enthusiast in love with Italy, Italian culture, and wines. According to the trio, Fiol is committed to bringing an elevated expression of Prosecco to the world. “We assembled a team of modern-day artisans: the best people, grapes, winemakers, designers, and innovators,” says Giovanni Chiappardi, Fiol’s Trade Marketing Manager. “Fiol is the closest thing to having your Aperitivo in Italy. Both Classico and Rosé expressions pair nicely with all kinds of foods and are perfect by the glass or mixed into cocktails, such as a Spritz, Bellini, or Mimosa.” According to Chiappardi, Fiol is “a solid base on which the bartender can count to unleash creative energy. Elegant and well balanced, gifting a pleasant light bubbling experience, both expressions of Fiol allow bartenders to introduce the flavors they like without having to fight overly sweet notes that tend to mask their skills.” Fiol Prosecco Classico, made from 100% Glera grapes, is a versatile wine that suits every occasion. It has limited acidity and moderate alcohol content and is both savory and sweet with a lively, bubbly sensation. The finish is refreshing with notes of Mediterranean spices and lemons. Fiol Prosecco Rosè, made from 75% Glera grapes and 15% pinot noir from the same region, is elegant with raspberry and wild strawberry notes on the nose and citrus, lemon, and white flowers on the palate, with a persistent finish. Both expressions are best served at 6-8°C (47-50°F). Prosecco DOC is now recognized globally as a spirit suited for every occasion. It is also perfect for those sparkling wine newcomers looking for an opportunity to taste an elevated expression at an affordable price. Ultimately, the latest Prosecco DOC Rosè continues to stir up innovation, intrigue, and interest in the category. “Prosecco continues to be the right ingredient of choice for many cocktails also with low ABV, and is widely used by many bartenders in the industry,” explains Chiappardi. “What makes the difference is always the quality of the prosecco chosen for the mix.”
