Spumante | Rosato

In addition to the classic Prosecco, Italy has a variety of Frizzante, Spumante and Franciacorta variants to offer. Recently, sparkling wines vinified in rosé have also enjoyed great popularity: red wine grapes are used either as a single varietal or as part of a cuveé. By lightly pressing and blending in, fewer tannins enter the wine, resulting in a light rosé color. Most spumante of this type are clearly dry, but there are also some interesting sweet versions, such as those made from the rare Muscat grape variety. - Gerardo
