Rinse the fresh strawberries thoroughly under cool running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Remove the green stems from the strawberries and chop them into small pieces to make blending easier.
Add the chopped strawberries to a blender along with the granulated sugar. Blend until completely smooth to create a strawberry purée.
If desired, strain the purée through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any small seeds. This step is optional but will result in a smoother cocktail.
Chill your serving glass in the freezer for a few minutes or add ice cubes to quickly cool it. Remove ice before pouring the cocktail.
Pour approximately 50 milliliters of the strawberry purée into the chilled glass. Adjust the quantity based on your desired strength of strawberry flavor.
Slowly pour 150 milliliters of sparkling wine over the purée, tilting the glass slightly to preserve the bubbles and avoid overflowing.
Gently stir the mixture with a long spoon to combine the purée and sparkling wine without losing the effervescence.
Garnish with a fresh strawberry or a sprig of mint, if desired, and serve immediately.
