Production & Heritage

Florida Caribbean Distillers, based in Auburndale, Florida, produces Capriccio with a straightforward concept: merge the sangria and sparkling wine categories into a single product. The White Bubbly Sangria starts with a Moscato wine base, which is then blended with 100% natural fruit juices and fruit essences — no artificial flavors are used. Carbonation is added to give the finished wine its signature effervescence, distinguishing it from flat, jug-style sangrias that have long dominated the category.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Tropical fruit leads immediately, with ripe pineapple and orange blossom rising from the glass. A subtle grape sweetness sits underneath, amplified by the lively carbonation releasing aromatics with each pour.

Taste: The entry is crisp and bright, with pineapple juice and juicy orange flavors hitting the palate first. At mid-palate, light white grape and peach notes emerge, balanced by the Moscato's natural residual sweetness. The carbonation keeps the mouthfeel lively rather than heavy, preventing the fruit flavors from becoming cloying.

Finish: Clean and refreshing, with citrus and tropical fruit fading at a moderate pace. A slight grape sweetness lingers briefly before the palate resets.

How to Drink White Bubbly Sangria

Serve well chilled, straight from the bottle or poured over ice to keep it cold as you drink. The 375ml single-serve format is designed for immediate enjoyment without leftovers.

• Sangria Spritz: Pour over ice with a splash of club soda and a fresh orange wheel — the carbonation and citrus profile make it a natural fit.
• Tropical Mimosa: Use in place of traditional Champagne alongside a splash of passionfruit or guava nectar for a fruit-forward brunch drink.
• Bubbly Sangria Punch: Combine multiple bottles with sliced peaches, pineapple chunks, and a measure of white rum for a party-ready punch bowl that requires minimal prep.

Best For

• Outdoor gatherings, barbecues, and pool days where a chilled, grab-and-go format is ideal
• Brunch entertaining as a ready-made alternative to mixing mimosas from scratch
• Introducing wine-curious drinkers to sangria through a fruit-forward, approachable style
• Beach trips and picnics where glass bottles and corkscrews are impractical

What foods pair well with Capriccio White Bubbly Sangria? Fresh fruit platters with mango and pineapple complement its tropical notes directly. Grilled shrimp or fish tacos with citrus salsa mirror the orange and lime aromatics. Light appetizers like bruschetta with peach and burrata work well, as do mild soft cheeses like brie. Coconut-based desserts such as coconut flan echo the tropical character without overwhelming the palate.

Why Capriccio White Bubbly Sangria?

The core distinction here is category innovation: Capriccio was among the first to combine sparkling wine with sangria, creating a product that didn't exist in the mainstream market before its launch. The use of 100% natural fruit juices rather than artificial flavors sets it apart from many competitors in the value-priced sangria segment. Sales figures back up the concept — crossing one million cases annually for three straight years is uncommon for any wine brand, let alone one in a niche sub-category. For drinkers who want the flavor of sangria with the fizz of sparkling wine in a convenient single-serve bottle, this remains the benchmark product in its class.
