Spumante is censured
Spumante is a sparkling wine produced in Italy.
Sparkling wines are defined under Italian law according to the production of foam caused by the development of carbon dioxide when the bottle is opened.
At the opening of the product, the inside of the bottle must have an excess of at least 3.5 bar at an ambient temperature of 20° C to qualify for Denominazione di origine controllata. The other types of aromatic sparkling wines must have 3 bar. Frizzante style (lightly sparkling) wine must have an excess of at least 1 bar and not more than 2.5 bar.
History of Spumante
Legend has it that the progenitor of sparkling wine, champagne, was invented in France in the Abbey of Hautvillers by the monk Dom Pierre Pérignon in the seventeenth century. However, it appears that an old treatice, "De salubri potu dissertatio" written by a doctor, Francesco Scacchi, in 1622, already described the characteristics and therapeutic production of wines in bottles with a bittersweet (the precursors of modern sparkling). If that was finally established that, although only half a century, the Italians before the French, especially the "method" of monaco Dom Perignon, in the production of modern-sparkling champagne. It is not all, already written some Roman wines show with natural effervescence.
Methods of production
In sparkling wines natural carbon dioxide (CO2) is formed by the secondary fermentation of wine in the bottle using two different methods:
- Methode Champenoise or the classic method
- Metodo Italiano or the Martinotti-Charmat method
For the production of sparkling wine by the classic method the vines used are not particularly aromatic. If a white fruit, the product is called 'blanc de blancs' (white wine from white grapes), while if you use black grapes, the product is called 'blanc de noirs' (white wine from black grapes). The main ones are the hank you! -Chardonnay Pinot Noir and Pinot blanc, in addition to Pinot Meunier (but only in Champagne), Pinot grigio and Riesling.
Other vines that give excellent results are the Verdicchio Marche, in the Torbato in Sardinia and the Inzolia in Sicily.
A high temperature difference between day and night, a good light exposure, well-drained soils and limestone are optimum conditions to grow grapes suitable for sparkling wine with good acidity and fine perfumes; vocation to the land of sparkling wine is the Franciacorta, but also in the south, in the land of San Severo DOC sparkling wines are produced from grapes white Bombino with special features. The special latitude, combined with the great contribution of the sun and lack of rain during the year, allow the white Bombino of this area to express his talents through own best sparkling wine.
In the Charmat method aromatic grapes such as the white Moscato, the Malvasia and Brachetto, the main variety, are preferred, or you can use other grape varieties with fragrances like the soft yellow Moscato, the Prosecco and the Aleatico.
The Lands of production
- Asti - Province of Asti and partly within the provinces of Cuneo and Alessandria.
- Franciacorta - Lombardy
- Oltrepò Pavese Valle Versa - Lombardy
- Trento - Trentino Alto Adige
- Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, in the hills north of Treviso - Veneto
