It doesn't matter what your tipple of choice is normally – when celebration time comes a-knocking, Champagne is definitely the poison we're picking. After all, the Raptors certainly didn't toast their victory parade with a craft beer shower.
However, if you've developed a taste for the sparkling wine, you don't have to break the bank every time you want to pop open a bottle. FIOL Prosecco is a bubbly that can be enjoyed at any time and doesn't have to be reserved for, say, celebrating an NBA Championship. Since there's no such thing as vintage Prosecco, you don't have to wait to uncork; celebrate your weekend (or even your Wednesday) by opening a bottle.
Aside from a favourable price difference, you'll notice a sweeter and less toasty flavour than Champagne. FIOL Prosecco is bursting with pear, citrus and green apple aromas, plus it pairs nicely with pretty much any cuisine you can think of.
Though Fiol Prosecco isn't new, you've probably noticed its increased presence on Toronto's menus of late. The light-bodied, extra dry prosecco is the perfect addition to a number of cocktails, complementing (and not overpowering) flavour profiles in drinks like the Aperol and lemon-ginger infused Piano Piano Spritz from Piano Piano or the Sparkling Lights of Hanmachi from Kasamoto, which combines blueberry and sherry.
Pick up a bottle and experiment with your bar cart, or simply open a bottle with dinner for a mini-celebration without the price tag.
