"Wine Tavern Di PUNTO" is famous for its classic style of casually gulping down Lambrusco sparkling wine with friends while snacking on prosciutto laid out on a large wooden board.
Since it is a place where you can enjoy wine unpretentiously and casually, it surely has many fans.
It turns out that Di PUNTO has introduced cute, limited-edition items that let you feel the arrival of spring.
Let's take a look at what they have to offer.
First, a toast.
This is the spring-limited "Sakura Spumante."
A Spumante with cherry blossom petals inside, more and more petals float up after it is brought to the table.
Visually, it is simply bursting with spring.
Pair it with the equally limited-time "Strawberry and Watercress Salad" as a starter, and a gorgeous, charming spring table is instantly complete.
The balsamic adds richness to the sweet and tart flavors of the strawberries, making it perfect with wine.
And the vibrant green of the watercress makes you crave a red wine with a refreshing herbaceous note.
Additionally, the Parmesan Chips with Onion Cream Dip offer a lingering, savory taste richly infused with the umami of Parmigiano.
Be careful, as you might find yourself endlessly chatting away while reaching for wine, then a chip, and wine again!
In addition, a 3-Red Wine Tasting Flight (1,320 yen incl. tax) has newly debuted this time.
The three varieties are Di1. Merlot & Sangiovese, Di3. Cabernet Sauvignon, and Di7. Syrah & Montepulciano.
Being able to compare three different styles of grape varieties at this price point—ranging from light and easy-drinking to firm with noticeable tannins, or spicy and fruit-forward—feels like a great value.
By the way, the "Di + number" names indicate Di PUNTO's private brand.
Most of them are wines you can only taste here!
Furthermore, you can also enjoy a three-variety tasting flight of their familiar Lambrusco.
・Di Dry Lambrusco / 100% Lambrusco <Red>
・Lambrusco / Bianco / Dolce <White>
・GIV Sweet Lambrusco / Emilia Rosso Dolce <Red>
Lambrusco is often imagined as a red sparkling wine, but being able to experience fruity Bianco (white) and sweet styles here is quite interesting.
For those who find it tough to pick a favorite among so many wines, it might be a great idea to start with a three-variety tasting flight to discover what you like.
Additionally, along with wines from all over the world, Di PUNTO's wine list properly includes Japanese wine.
It is wonderful to be able to choose from a wide variety of regions and styles depending on your mood.
Furthermore, Di PUNTO has numerous locations, most of which are conveniently situated near train stations, offering excellent access.
On the way home from work or for a girls' night out, why not get an early taste of spring with some wine?
