Italian sparkling wine production plays a very important role. By now, sparkling wines are produced in every Italian region.
Let’s start with the Venetoregion : here, the most famous sparkling wines are those made from Prosecco , an iconic wine. It is one of the best-known and most exported wines in the world, very fresh and perfect as an aperitif.
Asti DOCG, on the other hand, is produced in Piedmont, in the Alta Langa area. It is a sweet sparkling wine made using the Martinotti method. A specific glass, the Coppa Asti, was even designed to serve it perfectly .
Some of the best Italian sparkling wines are produced in Franciacorta , a hilly area in Lombardy that stretches between Brescia and Lake Iseo. To create the wonderful bottles of Franciacorta wine, the process begins with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Erbamat, and Pinot Blanc grape varieties. According to strict production regulations, the only appropriate method for producing it is the Franciacorta Method, a Metodo Classico. Undoubtedly, the Franciacorta region has made a fundamental contribution to the history of Italian sparkling wines worldwide.
We conclude by discussing one of the symbols of Italian wine production: Trento DOC. This appellation is highly significant because it was the first to be dedicated exclusively to sparkling wine produced through bottle fermentation. We are in Trentino, where the history of Classic Method sparkling wine production is deeply rooted and dates back centuries.
