Predictable Holiday Movie Scene |
Unique Wines of Sicily Pairing |
A couple with nothing in common but great cheekbones find themselves unexpectedly under the mistletoe together. |
For the perfect romantic twist, try Nero d'Avola. Going beyond the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d'Avola is the king of Sicilian red wines — and the ideal choice when you're in the mood for velvety, full-bodied flavor…and more. |
A horse-drawn carriage ride meets a fake snowfall making it a storybook setting for re-kindling an old high school flame. |
Move over Pinot Grigio. Looking for something in white with real authenticity? Try Grillo — balanced and aromatic with a light and refreshing taste, it'll quickly become your go-to white wine. |
Love interests meet by literally bumping into each other on a decorated street corner. |
Longing for your own serendipitous pairing? Meet Frappato — bringing together the best of both red and white wines, it's a delightfully fruity medium-bodied red with a fresh, soft taste. Best served slightly chilled! |
The perfect family finds an even perfect-er Christmas tree. |
For the kind of perfection usually only found in holiday movies, try Catarratto. A refreshing white with notes of citrus and flowers, its versatility allows for a perfect fit for family members huddled around the TV and your go-to bowl of popcorn. |
Looking onto a family having a Norman Rockwell-esque dinner, seen through the cleanest front window that has ever been seen. |
Whether you're eating at the dinner table or the coffee table, it should be dressed with both red and white wine varieties. For a flawless and elegant white, try Insolia with its understated fruit aromas and a soft finish. For a red, the diverse character of a Nero d'Avola fits in perfectly with almost any style of white and dark meats. Linger longer and your red will also pair with that luscious bite of chocolate cake. |
