Red · Medium · Dry

The cooler-climate sibling of Cabernet Sauvignon — leaner, more aromatic, with notes of bell pepper, raspberry, and graphite. The Loire's Chinon and Bourgueil do it best.

Why it works with Bergamot

Cabernet Franc's cherry-and-spice profile pairs gently with Bergamot.

Cava

Interesting

Sparkling · Light · Dry

Spain's traditional-method sparkling, made in Catalunya. Crisper and chalkier than Prosecco; remarkable value next to Champagne. Pair with jamón, tortilla, and grilled vegetables.

Why it works with Bergamot Extra

Bubbles refresh any palate — the default sparkling backup for unfamiliar territory.

Chardonnay

Classic

White · Medium · Dry

The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.

Why it works with Bergamot Extra

An all-purpose white — body, fruit, and acid in balance for varied food.

Red · Full · Dry

Bordeaux's tiny-percentage powerhouse — deep color, intense tannin, blackberry and violet. Rarely solo; transformational in a blend.

Why it works with Bergamot

Petit Verdot brings dark fruit and grip to Bergamot — a meal-and-wine pairing built for slower evenings.

Pinot Noir

Classic

Red · Light · Dry

Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.

Why it works with Bergamot Extra

A versatile light red — works across more dishes than any other red.

Rosé

Classic

Rosé · Light · Dry

Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.

Why it works with Bergamot Extra

Dry rosé is the most food-flexible bottle in the cellar.
