Hot Cross Buns & Alla Costiera Prosecco

Hot Cross Buns, the typical spiced raisin rolls are a must on the Easter table of the whole United Kingdom: created in the 16th century, these sweets made from a mixture of flour, whole milk, butter, eggs and yeast, to which raisins, cinnamon and orange peel are then added, are among the most popular festive delicacies for young and old. If you love them too, we have the right wine: the richness of nuances in their flavour goes well with a delicious sparkling perfect for every occasion like Alla Costiera Prosecco.

Chocolate eggs and…

And what about the much loved chocolate eggs? Whatever your age, receiving a chocolate egg and sharing it with others at the table will certainly make you smile. In a previous article we have seen some rules to match desserts and wines and we know that not all desserts are combined with the same wines. That is why even in the case of chocolate eggs a division is needed: which one is your favourite, dark or milk chocolate?

Dark chocolate eggs and Passito di Pantelleria

Dark and full of nuances, dark chocolate is loved by the most refined palates; thanks to its unique characteristics, the perfect match is undoubtedly a Passito di Pantelleria, like the grandiose Marco de Bartoli Bukkuram Sole d’Agosto.

Milk chocolate eggs and Spumante / Prosecco

With their sweet and round taste, milk chocolate eggs are the perfect match for a sparkling wine or prosecco: don’t miss the pairing with another bottle by Marco de Bartoli, the Terzavia Metodo Classico.
