General Description
Chocolate in a Bottle is a versatile product, therefore, the perfect pairing is rather subject to each person’s taste. However, recommendations can be made for various products with which the wine’s properties are highlighted and enhanced.
While it serves as an excellent appetizer, mixing well with all sorts of snacks, its chocolate hint marries it perfectly with desserts. Being a sparkling wine, it also blends ideally with fried dishes, since the bubbles clean the fat from the palate.
The serving temperature is fundamental. For all the aromas to be balanced, Chocolate in a Bottle must be served very cold, the perfect temperature is 3°C.
