Stella Angelo Hugo Italian Sparkling Wine 75 cl 10%

The Hugo cocktail has for years been a summer classic in the cafes of the Alps, built on elderflower, mint and sparkling wine. Stella Angelo has taken that idea and bottled it directly - a sparkling wine that already tastes like Hugo before you have even touched it with mint and lime.

Expert's Description

Stella Angelo Hugo is an Italian Sparkling Wine with natural elderflower aromas and an alcohol content of 10%. The wine has added sugar and aroma to recreate the fresh, floral summer taste that otherwise takes several ingredients to achieve in a classic Hugo cocktail. With its lower alcohol content than regular prosecco, it is designed as a light, festive sparkling wine that is just as good straight from the bottle as it is in a mixed drink.
