South Tyrolean Sparkling Wine -
Effervescence at Extreme Elevation
South Tyrolean sparkling wine makers from the Association of the South Tyrolean Sparkling Wine makers according to the classic bottle fermentation process produce around 200.000 bottles of sparkling wine.
The conditions for producing superior bubbly in Alto Adige, the most northerly region of wine cultivation in Italy, are practically ideal. Expecially at higher areas above 500 m (1,600 ft), the grapes can develop sufficient acidity. Thus after their second fermentation in the bottle, the wines can also still maintain that exuberant freshness which is expected of fine sparkling wines
