Origin: Italy

Biologically diverse, uniquely beautiful and bustling with life, coral reefs are one of the world’s most fascinating and valuable ecosystems and a foundation of life in our oceans. Yet they are also one of the most threatened. Almost half of the ocean’s coral reefs have been lost in the past 40 years and without action, all coral reefs could be dead by as soon as 2050. Taking action to safeguard the survival of our coral reefs is the inspiration behind Living Coral Wine. For every bottle sold, the Living Coral Foundation will make a contribution to an organization dedicated to saving our coral reefs. Together we can ensure that these undersea ecosystems that we all depend upon do not vanish from our planet.

Tasting Notes

Living Coral Sparkling Rosé captures the splendor of a coral reef in every glass poured. The color is reminiscent of the sun’s rays breaking the ocean’s surface to light up the world below and the bubbly effervescence is evocative of the life contained with this lush undersea world. The bouquet is pleasantly fruity with floral notes and gives way to the concentrated fruit flavors of ripe nectarine and peach balanced by refreshing acidity. Intriguing and elegantly complex with a creamy texture, this wine is extremely food-friendly and versatile. The acidity and bubbles make it an ideal accompaniment to anything fried or fatty; think crispy fried chicken, BBQ, creamy risotto, and goat cheese. Delicious on its own, it’s also an excellent choice for any dessert and absolute perfection with chocolate-covered strawberries.
