Ep 100
This is my 100th episode of the Cork and Fizz Guide to Wine podcast! How cool is that? To celebrate this huge milestone, we are going to talk about Italian sparkling wine!
What would you say if I told you there’s more to Italian sparkling wine than just Prosecco?
We are going to dive into the differences between Spumante and Frizzante (spoiler it’s all about the bubbles!) and I’m breaking down the different methods of making sparkling wine like Metodo Classico and the Charmat method. We’ll even hit on the sugar classifications when it comes to sparkling wine because it can be confusing!
We’ll discuss Prosecco as well as lesser known Italian sparkling wines like Franciacorta (otherwise known as the “Champagne of Italy”), Trento DOC, Moscato d’Asti, Asti Spumanti, Brachetto d’Acqui and I’m going to bust some myths around Lambrusco as well!
So, if you are curious about Italian sparkling wine that goes beyond Prosecco, this episode is for you!
