8) What are the types of Italian wines? SPARKLING WINE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Wrongly called champagne (which refers to the valuable drink produced in the city of Champagne,<\/strong> France) is known as the King of Wines. The sparkling wine has a large amount of carbon dioxide, which causes bubbles and foam. It is fermented twice: the first gives rise to the \u201csmooth\u201d white wine, without bubbles; in the second, sugar and yeast are added to ferment once more and form bubbles.<\/p>\n

Important<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Prosecco, made in the Veneto region in northeastern Italy, is a very famous sparkling wine, but not all Prosecco are sparkling! The grape used for the production of Prosecco is the grape of the Glera variety. Even though this type of drink almost always has bubbles, if you choose a sparkling wine, pay attention to the label to make sure it is not Prosecco; the same goes for the Frizzante type, which receives less carbon dioxide and, therefore, is less \u201cbubbly\u201d than the Prosseco.<\/p>\n

9) What are the types of Italian wines? DESSERT WINE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The famous \u201cdessert wines\u201d.<\/strong> The \u201ckey\u201d of this type of wine is to keep a part of the grape’s natural sugars, making them sweet. Do not mistake them for soft wines, as the \u201csweetness\u201d of soft wine comes from the addition of sugar later.<\/p>\n

10) What are the types of Italian wines? DRY, SEMI, SOFT AND SWEET WINES<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dry (Secco), Semi-dry (Abbocado or Amabile), Soft (Soave) and Sweet (Dolce) wines: How is it defined?<\/strong> By the amount of alcohol? No! These are the sugar levels. The sugar used in the wine comes from the grape itself (before, during or after production). The classification is according to the amount of sugar per gram \/ liter in the wine.<\/p>\n

Dry wine is known as fine table wine and is made from fine grapes. The sugar content is very low, almost absent. In semi-dry wine (Demi-sec) there is a trace of sweetness, but the dry flavor is present. Soft wine is considered a wine of inferior quality compared to its \u201ccousins\u201d, but some are extremely tasty and expensive. It is “sweetened” by stopping the fermentation of grapes or adding sugar at the end of production. Sweet wine, on the other hand, is sophisticated and essentially accompanies desserts. Its flavors are rich and its aromas intense. The flavor is given only by the grape used, without external interference with the ‘break’ of fermentation or addition of sugar.<\/p>\n
