As summer approaches, it’s the perfect time to explore new and refreshing wines to enjoy during the warm weather. Giovanni Arpaia, a wine contest judge, teacher and wine expert, shares his favorite summer wines that are sure to delight your senses and enhance your summer experiences.

Wine for Spectacular Sunsets: Champagne Rosé

There’s nothing quite like enjoying a glass of Champagne Rosé as you watch the sun set over the horizon. This elegant and effervescent wine is perfect for special occasions or simply for savoring the moment. With its delicate notes of red fruits and citrus, Champagne Rosé adds a touch of sophistication to any summer evening.

Wine to Accompany BBQ: Ciliegiolo

When it comes to BBQ season, Ciliegiolo is Giovanni’s top pick. This Italian red wine is versatile and pairs perfectly with grilled meats and vegetables. With its juicy and fruity flavors, Ciliegiolo complements the smoky flavors of BBQ dishes, making it a must-have for your summer gatherings.

Wine to Sip on a Terrace Whilst in Town: Loire’s Chenin Blanc

For a relaxing afternoon on a terrace in town, Giovanni recommends Loire’s Chenin Blanc. This crisp white wine offers a refreshing and zesty palate with hints of green apple and honey. Whether you’re people-watching or simply soaking in the ambiance, Loire’s Chenin Blanc is the ideal companion for a laid-back summer afternoon.

Wine to Bring Along to the Beach: Vinho Verde

Cool off on a hot summer day with a glass of Vinho Verde. This light and fizzy Portuguese wine is perfect for sipping by the beach as you soak up the sun. With its citrusy and floral notes, Vinho Verde is a refreshing choice that pairs well with seafood dishes or simply on its own as you relax on the sand.

A Special Wine: Sparkling Red Wine

To add a touch of flair to your summer celebrations, Giovanni suggests trying a sparkling red wine. This unique and indulgent wine offers a twist on traditional sparkling wines with its rich and robust flavors.
