Introduction:
The Riondo Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Wine from Veneto, Italy, is a refreshing and festive alternative for those seeking the celebratory character of Italian bubbly without the alcohol. It retains the hallmark freshness and effervescence of traditional sparkling wine while offering a bright, fruit-forward profile ideal for any occasion.

Terrior:
Produced in the Veneto region of northern Italy, the fruit for this sparkling wine benefits from a temperate climate with warm days and cool nights. The region’s glacial and alluvial soils provide a fertile base that supports aromatic development and balanced acidity—key elements even in non-alcoholic expressions.

Appearance:
Pale straw yellow in the glass, with a fine, persistent mousse. The clarity is excellent, with a clean, sparkling vibrancy that mirrors traditional Prosecco-style wines.

Nose:
The nose opens with fresh notes of green apple, pear, and white peach, accented by floral hints of acacia and citrus blossom. There’s a subtle background of minerality that adds depth and a slightly sweet, fruity aromatic profile.

Palate:
Light-bodied and lively, the palate delivers flavors of crisp apple, ripe pear, and a hint of apricot. A soft, creamy texture from the bubbles balances well with bright acidity and a touch of residual sweetness, making the wine feel round but refreshing. It finishes with citrus zest and a clean, palate-cleansing snap.

Finish:
The finish is brisk and clean, with lingering notes of apple skin, white peach, and lemon peel. The effervescence leaves a fresh, tingling impression that makes this wine especially food-friendly and enjoyable on its own.

Overall Impression:
Riondo’s Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Wine is a well-crafted, approachable option that captures the spirit of Italian sparkling wines while offering an alcohol-free experience. It’s ideal for celebrations, aperitifs, or pairing with a variety of light dishes. While not complex or age-worthy, it excels at what it aims to be—fun, fresh, and inclusive.
