Art-house sparkling wines, Italian style
It is no coincidence that the Italians have a passion for sparkling wines. Not only are they a major Champagne-drinking nation - as Champagne’s fifth-largest importer with 7.2 million bottles in 2010 - they are also leading producers of world-famous sparkling wines, spearheaded by Prosecco. The 2011 harvest produced 1.5 million hectolitres or 200 million bottles of Prosecco. So, no, Italy is not only home to red wines but also superlative whites, both still and sparkling.
