Poema Cava Brut Rosé

Roll up your sleeves and follow Seriouseats Clams Casino Recipe online to acknowledge National Clams on the Half-Shell Day; it is one of the best recipes I have tried of late. I will foolhardily pair this bacony, buttery, clammy deliciousness with Poema Cava Rosé! The elegant floral notes and freshness of this Cava pair perfectly with the bacon’s smokiness and the briny clams; it also serves as the perfect palate-cleanser between bites. ¡Salud!

ORIGIN

Cava, Spain

Grapes

Trepat

Tasting Notes

The wine shows aromas and flavors typical of Trepat, with fresh and elegant notes of strawberry, raspberry and rose petals. Balanced acidity keeps the wine light and fresh.

Food Match

A great match with cold cuts, barbecue, small game and lightly smoked fish.
