Another summer wine, Mionetto’s “Il Spritz,” is a semi-sparkling white wine with citrus flavors and herbs added. It’s inspired by the famous “Spritz” aperitif of the bars of Venice, where it was made of white wine, sparkling water and a mixer like Aperol, Campari or Cynar). One blogger called it “the national drink of Venice.” Mionetto makes its Spritz of white prosecco grapes, citrus and a few drops of red wine from tempranillo, the famous grape in Chianti.

What do they go well with? Whatever’s in your picnic basket.
