Recommended Slightly Sparkling Wines
The appeal of slightly sparkling wine
Slightly sparkling wine is a semi-sparkling wine (weakly effervescent wine) with a gas pressure of about 1 to 2.5 atmospheres.
Compared to sparkling wine, which has a gas pressure of 3 atmospheres or more, slightly sparkling wine has a lower gas pressure and you can enjoy a pleasant refreshing feeling as you are enveloped in relatively gentle bubbles.
The soft taste wraps around your mouth with a popping bubble. The refreshing feeling that slides down your throat smoothly brings a mildness that powerful sparkling wines do not have. The dry, slightly sparkling wines sold by Mavi in particular have a pure taste that goes well with food, so they are also recommended for pairing with other dishes.
Please enjoy the charm of silky slightly sparkling wine.
Four different types of slightly sparkling wine
Mavi offers four types of slightly sparkling wine, both dry and sweet. Please enjoy according to your preference.
Introducing 4 types of slightly sparkling wine
\New release in summer 2023/
[Slightly dry type, red] Terrassino Red Slightly sparkling
Perfect for an aperitif!
A slightly dry, slightly sparkling red wine. It has a fresh aroma of raspberries and cherries, a gentle acidity and a subtle sweetness. The sweetness is on the border between dry and slightly sweet.
The light body is accented by the bitterness of the grape skins. The flavor combines red fruits such as raspberries and cherries with blackcurrant, and the refreshing acidity is followed by a slightly sweet aftertaste.
We recommend that you first enjoy it chilled and then experience the change in flavor over time.
[Dry type, white] Valdonata white, slightly sparkling
A refreshing Italian feel
A light and easy to enjoy white slightly sparkling wine (dry type). The refreshing citrus aroma and flavor will blow through your mouth like a breeze. This is the perfect wine to enjoy under a parasol in the hot season. This organic wine has a pleasant, fine, creamy bubble, yet is also satisfying to drink.
It goes well with seafood and poultry dishes. It's a wine you'll want to keep in your fridge. It's also recommended for pasta and sandwich lunches.
[Dry type, red] Mandorlo red, slightly sparkling
Hidden Favorites
A slightly sparkling, medium-bodied red wine (dry type) made from 100% Barbera grapes from Asti, Piedmont. This organic red wine has an excellent balance of fruitiness, light tannins, and fine bubbles. The cute bottle label is eye-catching. It depicts a mandorlo (almond) flower. It is very gorgeous and resembles a cherry blossom.
When poured into a glass, it is a bright ruby color. Pink bubbles float on top, making it extremely cute! But don't be fooled. Contrary to its cute appearance, it is a dry type. The soft astringency and acidity, which can be enjoyed with meat dishes, will become addictive.
This popular slightly sparkling wine pairs perfectly with charcuterie, an appetizer platter of ham, pate, salami, and other dishes, and is perfect for drinking and chatting.
[Slightly sweet type, red] Bracket Red Slightly sparkling
Rose-scented bubbles
A slightly sweet, slightly sparkling red wine. Low in alcohol, this organic wine has a charming color, aroma, taste, and mouthfeel.
It has a clear ruby color and a beautiful aroma of pear, apple, and rose. It has a fresh taste that makes you feel as if you are stuffing your mouth full of ripe fruit, and the soft, fizzing bubbles are appealing. It can be enjoyed as an aperitif or with dessert.
If you pour it over small pieces of fruit, it becomes a stylish Macedonian dessert. It is recommended as a side dish for coffee time on the weekend or after dinner at home.
