Santo Stefano: an overview of flavors and types
Santo Stefano - is a carbonated wine drink from the Russian manufacturer CJSC NPO Agroservice. The plant is located in the Moscow region and works on imported raw materials.
Where the grapes come from - the company's secret.
Types of Santo Stefano and its taste
It is important to note that the manufacturer presents the drink not as "champagne", as consumers are used to calling it, but as a "carbonated wine drink", this is directly indicated on the product label itself. In addition, its strength is far from "wine" standards and is only 8 degrees.
White semi-sweet sparkling wine.
Delicate floral taste with slightly perceptible honey notes.
It has a fresh aroma and rich light straw color.
The delights of champagne are revealed when it is consumed chilled.
At the same time, you should refuse to add ice cubes to it, as the taste of the drink will be lost as it melts.
Serve Santo Stefano Bianco mainly with dishes made from fish, seafood, as well as fruits and desserts. The product can be seen on store shelves in dark glass bottles.
In addition, the champagne can be purchased in gift wrapping, but the packaging itself - a bottle and a drink - has no differences from the previous version.
