Sparkling Wines
Bright, lively and vivacious, sparkling wines are the protagonists of festivities and pleasant taste experiences. These wines are characterised by the presence of carbon dioxide from fermentation and an internal pressure of no less than 3 atmospheres at a temperature of 20°C. The practice of transforming still wines into sparkling beverages has been attested in Italy since the 14th century, but it was in 17th century France, thanks to the intuitions of Abbot Don Pérignon, that sparkling wine took on its modern connotations, reaching very high quality standards. Produced with aromatic or non-aromatic grapes, dry or sweet, with or without the addition of residual sugar, with re-fermentation in the bottle according to the Classic method or in autoclave according to the Charmat or Martinotti method, it can reach an infinite variety of expressions and denominations, always ensuring enchanting sensations and lively, sparkling atmospheres.
