(Agen Food) – Rome, 21 June. – Since ancient times, the summer solstice – the day with the most light throughout the year – symbolizes change, vitality and greater contact with nature. And how could it be otherwise? The warmer evenings invite us to be outdoors and in the air there is that special feeling that anything is possible.
Whether it’s during an aperitif by the sea, in front of a table set on the terrace, on a linen tablecloth with a wicker basket next to it, every occasion becomes a good one to celebrate the new beginnings that await us with a toast.
Fresh, delicate and playful, wines for the summer are perfect partners to accompany the moments of conviviality that the summer has just begun. And if white still remains the first choice when it comes to summer labels, Rosé and Bubbles stand out for their gastronomic versatility.
