Sparkling Brut Meets White‑Chocolate Raspberry Cubits: A Perfect Pairing
Wine – Anna Spinato Cuvée Millesimato Brut
- Acidity: 4/5 (crisp)
- Tasting notes: bright apple‑pear, peach, clean finish
Treat – El Almendro White Chocolate & Raspberry Almond Cubits
- Composition: 46 % white chocolate, 30 % toasted almonds, freeze‑dried raspberries
- Serving size: 25 g (137 kcal)
- Dietary: Gluten‑free, vegetarian, palm‑oil‑free
Why They Work Together
- The Brut’s high acidity cuts the richness of the white‑chocolate, keeping the palate fresh after each bite.
- Fruit cues align: apple‑pear in the wine mirrors the raspberry notes in the cubits, creating a seamless flavor bridge.
- Fine perlage adds a light, effervescent texture that contrasts the melt‑in‑mouth bite of the cubits, enhancing mouthfeel.
Serving Cue
- Chill the Brutto 8‑10 °C.
- Let the cubits sit at room temperature (≈ 25 °C) so the chocolate softens.
- Pair one cubit with a half‑glass (≈ 75 ml) of Brut; repeat for a balanced tasting rhythm.
Quick Pairing Ideas
- Brut + Sea‑salted almonds – amplifies almond nuance while the wine’s crispness balances salt.
- Cubits + soft cheese (e.g., brie) – the cheese’s buttery texture mirrors the chocolate; the wine cleanses the palate.
- Brut + light fruit salad – reinforces shared raspberry and apple flavors.
Enjoy a concise, palate‑pleasing duet that highlights the wine’s elegance and the confection’s indulgence.
