Astoria Yu Sushi Sparkling Brut 750ml 11% (Italy)
Astoria Yu Sushi Sparkling Brut 750ml 11% is an Italian white sparkling wine made for a meal that begins with sushi and keeps going. 🇮🇹 Its crisp, dry style and fine bubbles feel lively beside delicate raw fish, without pushing the food into the background. Chill a bottle for dinner with friends, a sushi night at home, or a simple aperitif before the first plate arrives. The playful white bottle with red foil looks the part on the table, but the pairing is the real reason to pour it.
Astoria Yu Sushi Sparkling Brut opens with fruit and floral notes: the producer points to pear, citrus and wisteria. 🍐🍋 In the glass it is pale straw yellow, with small, persistent bubbles. The taste is pleasantly dry and gently tangy, so another bite of sashimi or seafood still feels fresh. If you prefer sparkling wine with clear acidity over a softer, sweeter style, this Brut is a good direction to take.
Pour Astoria Yu Sushi Sparkling Brut with sushi, sashimi or seafood crudo, exactly the foods Astoria designed it to accompany. 🍣 It can also lift a platter of light savoury bites while everyone settles in. Serve it at 6–8°C and open the bottle just before pouring so the fine mousse stays bright. A narrow sparkling-wine glass lets you enjoy the bubbles and the pear-and-citrus aroma, although a regular wine glass works perfectly well at a relaxed dinner. 🥂
Astoria makes this cuvée from white grapes grown in the Treviso hills of Italy. The producer's technical information describes fermentation in steel, followed by a second fermentation in pressurised tanks and a short rest on the lees. 🍾 The supplied bottle is labelled Brut, with 11% alcohol and a 750ml volume; it contains sulphites. The exact grape varieties are not specified for this bottle. Astoria Yu Sushi Sparkling Brut offers a simple, food-friendly way to bring a dry Italian sparkle to a Japanese-inspired menu.
