L’Occhiolino (pronounced Locky – Oh – Leeno) is a brand-new Italian sparkling red wine from the heart of Bologna. It’s surprisingly light at just 7.5% alcohol and best served chilled, ideally over a long leisurely lunch with a side of sunshine.

Meaning ‘the wink’ in Italian, L’Occhiolino is the kind of wine that’s served from under the counter, that off-menu gem. It’s made from some of the oldest grape varieties in Italy that are relatively unknown outside the country. Unusually combining a deep ruby red colour and light froth of bubbles, this sparkler is lighter than typical Italian sparkling wine and the perfect choice for brunches and summer dining. Typically enjoyed by the trend-setters of Bologna, this authentic and delicious sparkling red has now arrived in the UK.

Originally founded in Hove, Cin Cin Fitzrovia launched in 2021. A small and intimate neighbourhood Italian restaurant, with 20 seats inside and 20 plus outside on a south facing corner with lots of afternoon sun, it’s perfect for al fresco dining this summer.

Menus include the a la carte or chef’s tasting menu, that can be enjoyed with an accompanying flight of wine.
