Alt = Christmas gift guide

The countdown has officially begun: the holidays are approaching, menus are taking shape (more or less...) and the same question remains: which wines to choose? We have prepared a guide to wines for Christmas!

From aperitifs to after-dinner drinks, XXL lunches, and family dinners, here is a guide that will save you time and help you choose without stress.

APERITIF

The aperitif is the official start of the party. It's that moment when you arrive, settle in, toast, and steal the first canapé as it passes by.

To start off on the right foot (and with the right glass), you need something:
• fresh and versatile
• capable of accompanying finger food and appetizers
• light but never boring

LUNCH AND DINNER

This is where Christmas really comes into its own: important recipes, traditions that return every year, dishes that arrive in procession at the table. The wine must follow the rhythm without overpowering the dish: accompanying, enhancing, supporting.

In the dedicated section you will find:
• elegant whites for fish, appetizers, and delicate first courses
• smooth reds for classic main courses
• more structured reds for roasts and "big party" dishes

Perfect for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or any respectable dinner table.

AFTER DINNER

Then there is a moment after lunch when time slows down: the panettone is opened, people chat, someone starts a board game... and that's when a good glass of wine makes all the difference.
For this moment, we have chosen something pleasant to sip calmly, perfect with pandoro, panettone, and holiday desserts!

TOAST

Midnight on Christmas Eve, toasts during games, cheers for late arrivals: sparkling wines are the stars of the party!
Fresh, convivial, immediate: our selection brings together sparkling wines and Prosecco to create that atmosphere that immediately makes it feel like a party.
