Wine samples were provided for this post and this page may contain affiliate links This month, I am leading a discussion for the Italian Food Wine Travel bloggers about sparkling Italian wines...just in time for the holidays.  You can read my invitation,  here . You'll find more details in that post about the difference between Frizzante and Spumante; the different processes of creating bubbles - Metodo Classico, or Metodo Champenoise, versus Charmat, or Martinotti Method; and, while Prosecco is probably the most well-known Italian sparkling wine, at least in America, there's an entire range of Italian sparklers, including Prosecco Superiore or Prosecco DOCG, Lambrusco, Franciacorta, and more. A few bloggers received a selection of Prosecco Superiore from the Consorzio of Prosecco Superiore DOCG *, but everyone was free to explore any and all sparkling ...

This month - July 2019 - I am hosting the #ItalianFWT group as we delve into tasting and pairing Prosecco DOCG or Prosecco Superiore. You can read my invitation to the Italian Food Wine Travel bloggers here -  You're Invited: Tanti Auguri (Many Wishes), Prosecco DOCG!!   Grazie Mille I'm grateful for the event's sponsor, the Consorzio of Prosecco Superiore DOCG*, for sending some industry samples to the blogging group.

In my second pouring and pairing, I shared what I learned about the Martinotti Method . This is the final bottle that I received from the Consorzio* - Cantine Vedova's Nebbia. 'Nebbia' means 'fog' in Italian. I need to do a bit more reading about the name because to me, this embodied the opposite of fog. Maybe it's named for the frothy white layer when you pour it that dissipates as it sits....

The Martinotti Method I decided to open up my second bottle from the Corsorzio*, the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Millesimato Extra Dry from Prosecco Toffoli. And, in doing research, I came across a new-to-me term: the Martinotti Method. The characteristic sparkle of today’s Prosecco is the result of advances in science.
