Fresh, fine-bubbled sparkle for an easy aperitif or a celebratory table
Familia Bianchi Sparkling Extra Brut is made for a glass that feels bright and welcoming rather than heavy. Fine, persistent bubbles carry tropical-fruit and white-peach notes, followed by a gentle bread-toast character and a rounded finish. Freshness keeps the palate lifted, while the texture remains softly balanced.
Open it when friends arrive, pour it to start a meal, or bring it out for a toast that calls for something a little more considered. Its fresh, rounded style works naturally with smoked salmon, prawns, sushi, fried nibbles and soft, creamy cheeses: foods whose richness is refreshed by the wine’s lively lift.
This non-vintage sparkling wine comes from Bodegas Bianchi in San Rafael, Mendoza, and is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It offers the classic pleasures of fine bubbles and gentle toast in a generous 750ml bottle.
Why you’ll love it
- Fine, persistent bubbles give every pour a lively, celebratory feel.
- Tropical fruit and white peach are softened by a gentle yeasty, bread-toast note.
- Freshness and a rounded palate make it easy to enjoy from the first glass to the last.
- A versatile bottle for an aperitif, a relaxed gathering or lighter dishes.
- Traditionally made by a fourth-generation family winery with historic roots in San Rafael.
The story behind the wine
Bodegas Bianchi’s story begins in San Rafael, Mendoza, where Italian immigrant Valentín Bianchi founded the winery in 1928. The business remains family run and is now in its fourth generation. For a shopper choosing this bottle, that gives the Familia Bianchi name a real connection to a long-standing local wine family rather than simply a label.
San Rafael is still central to the estate. Bianchi’s winery is based there, and its own visitor experience places Famiglia Bianchi wines and traditional-method sparkling wine in the family’s private cellar. This Extra Brut is therefore rooted in the winery’s historic home in Mendoza while offering a straightforward, sociable style for the table.
The wine is made by the traditional method: the second fermentation that creates its bubbles happens in the bottle. That production choice helps make sense of its fine, lasting mousse and the subtle toastiness alongside the fruit.
