🇮🇹 An Italian Christmas Tasting at Pizzata Deli
Celebrate the festive season the Italian way, with good friends, Italian bubbles, Neapolitan pizza and gelato.
Join us at Pizzata Deli for a relaxed summer evening exploring four very different Italian sparkling wines, from fresh and fruity Prosecco to elegant Metodo Classico. Along the way, we'll share stories, tasting tips and ideas for choosing the right bubbles for Christmas brunch, Christmas lunch, summer entertaining and New Year's Eve.
🥂 The Italian bubbles
We'll taste:
Ca' delle Rose Prosecco Rosé
Fresh, fruity and beautifully festive, with delicate red berry notes.
Bottega Il Vino dei Poeti Prosecco
Crisp, fresh and wonderfully versatile, a great bottle for sharing over Christmas.
Bottega Gold Prosecco
The iconic gold bottle, made for celebrations and a gorgeous gift for the Prosecco lover in your life.
Rotari Cuvée 28 Brut
Elegant Metodo Classico from the alpine vineyards of Trentino. Made using the traditional method, with the second fermentation taking place in the bottle and 28 months on the lees.
🍓 The Prosecco Bar
We'll set up our Prosecco Bar with fresh fruit, Italian syrups and liqueurs, and show you a few easy ways to create something special. Then choose your favourite combination and make your own festive glass to enjoy during the evening.
🍕 Pizza, Gelato & Tiramisù
We'll start with festive canapés before sitting down to Pizzata's Neapolitan pizzas, served at our long shared tables.
For dessert, enjoy Italian gelato while we demonstrate how to make a Tiramisù in a Glass using Bottega Tiramisù Liqueur, with delicious flavours of coffee, cocoa and mascarpone.
🎄 Christmas inspiration
You'll leave with plenty of ideas for Christmas entertaining, from choosing Italian bubbles and pairing them with food to creating simple festive drinks at home.
Found a bottle you love? All the wines we'll taste will be available to order on the night, along with Divino Italian wine gift boxes and Bottega liqueurs. We'll have some festive specials too.
