Summer is coming, and there's nothing better than enjoying the hottest season of the year with refreshing and light drinks! Sparkling wines are the perfect companions for this time of year, especially Brazilian ones, which offer unparalleled freshness, acidity, and lightness.
The ideal temperature to enjoy these delicacies is between 6 and 8°C. Keep your sparkling wine chilled in an ice bucket to preserve its freshness. At Osli Restaurant, our recommendation for an exceptional experience is Villa Francioni Nature, a sparkling wine from Santa Catarina that spends 24 months in contact with yeasts, ensuring complexity and body. Try pairing it with our irresistible Flambéed Shrimp, served with grilled pupunha palm heart, mandioquinha, Santa Catarina frescal paçoca, and cashew emulsion.
For lovers of light white wines, the Santa Catarina mountains offer AMI Sauvignon Blanc from the Abreu Garcia winery. With herbaceous and fruity aromas, it is perfect to accompany our coastal oysters.
Still rosé wines, especially those from Provence, are also popular in summer. Try Villaggio Bassetti Rosé, a wine from São Joaquim that balances delicacy and power. Pair it with our delicious Galician-style octopus, served with potatoes and vegetables.
If you can't give up red wine, even on hot days, choose wines that highlight fruit and acidity, such as those made with the Pinot Noir grape variety. We recommend Quinta da Neve Pinot Noir Cuvée de Safras, a wine from Santa Catarina that combines aromas of red fruits, mushrooms, earthy notes, and candied figs, the result of its aging in French oak barrels. Pair it with our incredible mushroom risotto with black truffle shavings.
At Osli Restaurant, every wine tells a story, and every dish is a unique experience. Come and enjoy summer with us, where every sip and every flavor is unforgettable!
