The Cinzano range of sparkling wines comprises of dry and sweet wines. Cinzano Sparkling are from a Company called Gruppo Campari in Italy. All these varieties have their own characteristics that are unique. The Cinzano sparkling wines come in handy when you are having a celebration or when you are having a toast.

Gran Cinzano

They are an ideal aperitif (a dry alcoholic beverage usually served before a meal to stimulate the appetite). The Cinzano Gran Dolce is best offered at the end of a meal in a champagne glass.

Cinzano vermouths date back to 1757. Two brothers, Giovanni Giacomo and Carlo Stefano Cinzano came up with a special new “vermouth rosso” that used “aromatic plants from the Italian Alps. The recipe is still a secret and it has 35 ingridients. With the company’s growing reputation for quality and innovation, Cinzano was asked by Savoy monarchs to create a wine to rival the French champange wines, which were taking the world by storm. In 1840, Cinzano produced Italy’s first-ever sparkling wine.

The rivalry between the French and the Italians when it comes to wine has always been strong.

A light, delicately sweet sparkling wine. From selected vineyards in the Italian peninsula. Ideal as an accompaniment to any dessert. One should serve chilled as aperitif or you can mix with cocktails.
