Sparkling wine production in Italy plays a crucial role. Sparkling wines are now produced in every Italian region.
Let's start with the Veneto region : here, the most famous bubbles are those of Prosecco , an iconic wine. It is one of the most well-known and exported wines in the world, very refreshing and perfect for an aperitif.
Asti DOCG is produced in Piedmont , in the Alta Langa area. It is a sweet sparkling wine made using the Martinotti method. To perfectly enjoy it, a special glass, the Coppa Asti, was even created .
Some of the finest Italian sparkling wines are produced in Franciacorta , a hilly area in Lombardy stretching between Brescia and Lake Iseo. To create these wonderful bottles of Franciacorta wine, we start with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Erbamat, and Pinot Blanc grape varieties. According to strict production regulations, the only suitable method is the Metodo Franciacorta , a traditional method. The Franciacorta region has undoubtedly played a fundamental role in shaping the history of Italian sparkling wines around the world.
We conclude by discussing one of the symbols of Italian production: Trento DOC . This denomination is very important because it was the first to be dedicated exclusively to sparkling wine made from secondary fermentation in the bottle. We are in Trentino , where the history of producing classic method sparkling wine is deeply rooted and ancient.
