Almost any wine can be made to sparkle. (During the nineteenth century, you could find such products as Clos de Vougeot Mousseux and sparkling Sauternes.) Today there are three basic ways of producing bubbles in a wine: a secondary fermentation in a bottle; a second fermentation in a tank; and carbonation.At this tasting, we’ll cover a panoply of appellations and styles of sparkling wine. From the Charmat method which produces Prosecco, to the Ancestral method which produces Pétillant Naturel, to the Traditional method which produces Cava and the sparkling wines of the Loire Valley, Alsace and Champagne. And we’ll discover a variety of sparkling wines of various dosages—from Brut Nature, Brut, and beyond.
One thing is for sure – this tasting will turn you into a lover of all wines that sparkle!
