Can you imagine a romantic dinner without wine?
Without glasses, without the music of wine when poured lightly into a goblet? We definitely don’t. Never.
Choosing wines for a romantic dinner has never been that easy. A smooth red wine? Or full-palate bubbles? Or to be challenged by less simple wines that can create an intriguing tension between minds?Like everything about passion in our life, the crucial element of a romantic dinner is a crescendo, a sort of road map of desire, to gradually create the right atmosphere for making minds and bodies dialogue with each other.
The bubbles of love are always pink and come from France, preferably from Champagne, like the pink bubbles by Lhuillier, which is intriguing, cryptic, and sensual, with magnificent colour, especially in the half-light of a candle.
Staying on the pink, for the lovers of the most eclectic and curious bubbles, we can fly further north to Alsace for a sensual Cr mant. A very fresh, single-varietal Pinot Noir, the right bubbles to start a dinner lightly, for burning hearts.
A bubble in pink is always followed by an aromatic white wine. Its scents inebriate body and even thoughts. We can’t think of anything more romantic and full-palate than a well-made Sancerre, like the Domaine Chatelain, with citrus elegance on the nose, meticulous freshness on the palate, and delightful, juicy length. A certainty with every sip.
For those who love romantic emotions made in Italy, the Sauvignon Blanc by Lis Neris, from Friuli, with elegance and intensity. A white wine that doesn’t look like any other. A white wine perfect for indelible evenings.
But the colour of love has always been red, like the wine with which usually a unforgettable dinner ends.Full-bodied, romantic and lasting like true love. Is there such a wine? Yes, it is called Amarone, is made in Valpolicella and tastes like intense, very long kisses. Our favourite is the classic, very smooth, and eternal wine by Masi. For those people for whom love is an emotion that has more to do with intellect, elegance and tension, why not indulge in a Pinot Noir on a special Day? A red wine by Cloudy Bay to dream of flying together to New Zealand, from where it comes. A wine in which elegance and personality find a great, sensual balance. Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Dinner. Always fall in love with whoever you like. Toast to love freely but always with the right wine.
