Prima Pavé Grand Cuvée is a non-alcoholic sparkling wine from Northern Italy, blending Chardonnay and Pinot Noir for a richer, more composed expression of bubbles. Juicy orchard apple leads into toasted hazelnut, vanilla bean and lemon shortbread, with a creamy texture and fine, persistent bubbles. Dry and elegant, this has considerably more depth than your typical celebratory sparkler and is particularly lovely at the table.
Why We Love It
This is the Prima Pavé we reach for when we want something with a little more gravitas. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir give it structure, while the combination of apple, toasted hazelnut and lemon shortbread brings a savory, almost pastry-like complexity without sacrificing freshness. The bubbles are fine, the finish is properly dry, and it has enough body to stand up to richer food. It also earned Gold and 92 points at the San Francisco International Wine Competition.

Food Pairing
Grand Cuvée is built for a more substantial table. We especially like it with oysters, grilled lobster or creamy risotto, but its nutty, savory character also makes it terrific with crispy pork belly, truffled chicken or Peking duck. This is one of those rare non-alcoholic sparklers we'd happily keep pouring from the opening glass straight through dinner.
