New Opening: Top Notch Bubbles at VALPASSO

Claire L. Squire ShanghaiWOWeng 2018-11-27




There is a new bar opened on Julu Lu that is going to change the way that you celebrate. Everyone knows that champagne is the way you celebrate big, when you’re going all out. But how do you celebrate the small occasions? The everyday-life wins, the ‘making it to Friday’ moments, the ‘girls-night’ moments, the ‘best-friend needs me’ moments? You celebrate with Prosecco…


Slide


VALPASSO is a new Prosecco bar that has opened in 758 Julu Lu (The new ‘it’ spot that has been under development for several months.) This bar feels like an extension of your living room, softly light and cozy with lush velvets It’s the perfect location for a date night, pop in for one drink and you will find it hard to leave.

This Prosecco bar is spectacularly unique because they have their own specially crafted vintage of Prosecco.



The founders spent considerable time in Italy this year in the hilly DOC region just northeast of Veneto, where they fell in love with the Glera grapes that make Prosecco. After considerable time and research they developed two unique vintages that were so special they deserved their own bar.



Named after the vintage, the bar VALPASSO was born.

The VALPASSO Prosecco DOC Brut is the perfect glass to sip on a date or an even better bottle to pop with friends. Lemon yellow in color with elegant, refined bubbles that peak in a hearty froth. The Prosecco has the aroma of white flowers, apricot, and herbs that creates a delicately soft bouquet. The palate is comprised of citrus, orange blossoms, and stone fruits. Fresh citrus and floral notes linger on the finish.

They also have a VALPASSO Sparkling Wine Rosé, which is really surprising with its elegance. It’s light raspberry in color with popping bubbles that flirt with your taste buds as you sip. It has fresh aromas of cherry and red currant with good acidity and a crisp, refreshing finish.



With such amazing wines on offer, dipping into the cocktail menu can feel a little naughty. But they have used the VALPASSO Prosecco in the majority of the menu. They have a drink for every person with a refreshing variety that leaves you wanting to sample everything on the menu. (We did it and we wobbled home.)

All of the cocktails on the menu are RMB 75, which is amazing value for the quality of the ingredients and the expertise behind their design. My favorite was the Pretty in Pink. It’s a gin-based cocktail with grapefruit syrup and lemon juice finish that gives the perfect balance between tart and sweet. The thyme garnish adds a savory herbal note to the aroma and leaves you wanting more. It’s a drink to be savored.



Award winning cocktail creative Johan Holmberg is the creative mind behind the drink menu. Besides the bubbly cocktails, they also offer classics with a contemporary twist. With knowledgeable bartenders inhouse you can also make personalized requests.



Right now they are serving simple European bar snacks - ham and cheese boards, Flammkuchen, and shrimp cocktails. This is something they are going to be developing towards the end of this year, so keep an eye out for menu changes. (We will let you know as soon as we know, we promise.)



Currently, the bar is in still under construction but they will be opening their doors properly on November the 8th with a big Prosecco pop. They will be up and running, in full working order, from then on.
