Sparking And Whites Flashcards
Prosecco
is an Italian white wine — generally a Dry or Extra Dry sparkling wine— normally made from Glera (“Prosecco”) grapes.
DOC prosecco is produced in the regions of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia in Italy, and traditionally mainly in the areas near Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, in the hills north of Treviso.
Prosecco is known as the main ingredient of the Bellini cocktail and has more recently become popular as a less expensive substitute for Champagne.
Moscato
Moscato or Muscat almost always has a pronounced sweet floral aroma.
Moscato d’Asti is a lightly sparkling (frizzante) variety of Muscat, made from the Moscato Bianco (Muscato Canelli) grape of the Piedmont region of Italy.
This region has a DOCG designation and produces Barbera d’Asti, Dolcetto d’Asti, and Asti.
What is sparkling wine?
