Boresso Extra Dry
Boresso Extra Dry is an Italian non-alcoholic sparkling wine made from 100% Italian grapes and crafted to land firmly on the dry, crisp side of the spectrum. The wine is dealcoholized, then finished with a small amount of grape must and carbonation to preserve its freshness, minerality and fine, persistent bubbles. Green apple and bright citrus lead the palate, with a delicate honeyed note underneath and enough acidity to keep everything clean and refreshing. There's no added sugar, fruit juice or concentrate, which matters here: this drinks much closer to a classic Brut-style sparkling wine than the sweeter profile common in non-alcoholic bubbles.
Why We Love It
Boresso gets one of the hardest things about non-alcoholic sparkling wine right: dryness. It has enough fruit to feel generous without tipping sweet, lively bubbles that give it real celebratory energy, and a clean finish that makes another glass very easy to pour. We especially like it for customers looking for an Italian Prosecco-style experience without the sugary finish that can make some non-alcoholic sparkling wines feel more like sparkling juice.
Give it something salty: prosciutto-wrapped melon with basil, burrata with lemon and good olive oil, fried squash blossoms with ricotta, oysters with citrus mignonette, Parmesan gougères, or a simple plate of Parmigiano-Reggiano, Marcona almonds and Castelvetrano olives.
