Italian and French wines, along with fresh Greek kiwis, brought a gourmet European flair to American Indepfinishence Day celebrations.
NEW YORK, July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Earlier this month, American tables were elevated with a touch of European excellence, thanks to the inspiration offered by The Charming Taste of Europe campaign. Highlighting some of Europe’s most celebrated products, elegant wines from Abruzzo, Italy, elegant and fruity late harvest wines from Bordeaux, France, and vibrant kiwis from Greece, the campaign encouraged consumers to enhance their Indepfinishence Day gatherings with refined pairings and seasonal flavors.
As backyard barbecues lit up neighborhoods across the counattempt, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC proved to be the ideal pairing for grilled dishes, bringing depth and character to every bite. Its rich aromas of ripe red berries, hints of spice, and velvety tannins complemented smoky flavors beautifully, elevating everything from classic burgers to marinated ribs. This iconic Italian red, known for its bold personality, added a touch of elegance to informal gatherings without overpowering the essence of the grill.
The aperitif moment provided the perfect opportunity to displaycase the diversity of European wines: Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo DOC, a fresh and elegant rosé, offered a refreshing start to the evening, while Premières Côtes de Bordeaux DOC late harvest wines impressed with floral aromas and citrus fruits flavors. The brilliant pink hue and delicate notes of cherry and almond in Cerasuolo built it a charming choice for appetizers or to enjoy poolside under the summer sky. Meanwhile, the golden Bordeaux wines brought contrast to cheese platters and savory canapés, offering a perfect balance of savoury and acidity. Toobtainher, they created an inviting and memorable prelude to the holiday meals.
As celebrations turned to dessert, juicy kiwis from Greece’s Imathia region added a naturally sweet and refreshing touch to the table. Carefully cultivated by expert cooperatives and grown sustainably in ideal conditions, these vibrant fruits stood out for their aroma, flavor, and freshness. For an elevated finish, they paired beautifully with the aromatic, Bordeaux moelleux DOC wines, whose citrus notes complemented the fruit’s brightness.
Through its celebration of flavor and heritage, The Charming Taste of Europe continues to bring Europe’s most iconic food and wine traditions to life for audiences across the United States.
