Description
Txakoli (Chakolí in Castilian) — the slightly sparkling, high-acid, low-alcohol white wine of the Basque Country — is the inseparable companion of pintxos. Its specific character (poured from a height to maximise its natural CO₂ fizz, drunk immediately) provides the acid and the refreshment that allows the sequential eating of multiple intensely flavoured pintxos without flavour fatigue.
