Semi-sweet sparkling wines
Frizzante semi-sweet sparkling wines combine pleasant sweetness, freshness and fine bubbles. They are a great choice for all those who like fruity and aromatic wines, but at the same time do not want too sweet a character.

You can find our Frizzante from the popular varieties Pálava, Hibernal, Pinot Gris and Müller Thurgau.
What is semi-sweet Frizzante?
Frizzante is a sparkling wine with fine bubbles. Compared to classic sparkling wine, it usually has finer sparkling and lower pressure. The designation semi-sweet means that the wine contains a higher amount of residual sugar than semi-dry wine. The sweetness is therefore more noticeable in the wine, but it is still not the highest degree of sweetness. Thanks to the combination of sweetness, acidity and fine effervescence, a semi-sweet Frizzante can seem very fresh and balanced.
How does a semi-sweet sparkling wine taste?
A semi-sweet Frizzante tends to be distinctly fruity and aromatic. The subtle sweetness highlights the fruity character of the wine and the bubbles give it freshness.
Depending on the variety used, you can find notes of:
strawberries
raspberries
peach
pears
citrus
tropical fruits
cherries
flowers
It is precisely the pronounced fruitiness that makes a semi-sweet Frizzante a wine that is very accessible and easy to drink.
