Semi-dry sparkling wines

You can enjoy Frizzante semi-dry on its own, as an aperitif, with a light meal, during a barbecue or during a summer gathering with friends. Krist Winery offers a selection of wines from Moravia and selected wine-growing regions of the European Union. We prepare our Frizzante from the popular varieties Pálava, Hibernal, Pinot Gris and Müller Thurgau.
What is Frizzante semi-dry?
Frizzante is a sparkling wine with a subtle effervescence, which is lighter and less intensely carbonated than classic sparkling wine. The designation semi-dry means that the wine contains more residual sugar than dry wine, but it is still not a particularly sweet wine. In Frizzante semi-dry, the sweetness is balanced by acidity and freshness. The result is a harmonious wine with a pleasantly fruity character and fine bubbles.
