A Summer Wine With a Mediterranean Kick

wine.com

Last week I talked about 3 Summer wines you should consider when the weather turns hot and sticky.  Well I need to add a fourth.  Just the other night, my wife and I, along with some friends, attended a small wine tasting at a neighborhood wine shop.  The featured wine was Canella Bellini, produce in the Venito region of Italy.

Canella Bellini

As we left the tasting I purchase a few bottles and decided that we would enjoy them with the family on Sunday during our Father’s Day cookout. As I was pouring the wine I wondered if perhaps I got caught up in the enthusiasm of the tasting and maybe this Bellini cocktail was not as good as first suspected.  One sip and I knew I found another refreshing wine to enjoy this summer.

In last weeks post, I mentioned Prosecco as one of my top three wines of the summer, and this Bellini like cocktail takes Prosecco to a new level.  Here is what the producer has to say about his wine, a description I feel is spot on.

Winemaker’s notes

 “Prosecco, White Peaches & Raspberries. The key to this cocktail is fresh, top-quality raw material (superb Prosecco, rare white peaches picked when perfectly ripe, carefully selected raspberries), no artificial flavoring, state-of-the-art technology to ensure product’s ideal temperature control and stability, and retain the delicate peach aromas without chemical tampering, constant research to maximize quality, high-grade packaging, and less than 80 calories per serving.  It is a classic aperitif, with an inebriating peach fragrance.”

Canella’s Prosecco, are always first rate.  Totally refreshing, this is the perfect substitute for a classic Bellini cocktail.  A delightful Mediterranean summer drink that can be found between $11.00 and $13.00.  Below are a few online sites where Canella Bellini is available.  My Nyack, NY friends can find it for $12.00 at the Nyack Wine Cellar on Broadway.
