How are Italian sparkling wines made?

Sparkling wines from Italy are mainly made using the Charmat method, also known as the Italian closed tank fermentation method. In this process, the grapes are harvested and gently pressed to extract the must. Then, it is fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled conditions, where yeasts and sugars are added to start the second fermentation. During this phase, carbon dioxide is produced, which is trapped in the wine, creating bubbles. After a period of tank aging, the wine is filtered and bottled.

 

Each variety and region may have its own specific techniques and characteristics, but the Charmat method is widely used to produce Italian sparkling wines such as Prosecco and Asti Spumante, among others.
