Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Freixenet Extra Dry Italian Sparkling Rosé drinks with a lively, refreshing sparkle, showing soft red berry notes, a gentle floral lift, and a lightly sweet finish that keeps it easygoing rather than heavy. Produced in Italy in the approachable extra dry sparkling rosé style, it reflects Freixenet’s flair for festive, fruit-forward bubbles while keeping a crisp, polished feel in the glass. With an ABV of 0.11, this Italian sparkling rosé works beautifully as an aperitif or for relaxed entertaining, especially when served chilled alongside smoked salmon or prosciutto, where its bubbles and subtle sweetness balance the savory, salty flavors.
