Chiara Degl'Innocenti — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 07:34:00 +0000

Chiara Degl'Innocenti — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 13:25:14 +0000

Italy can be told in many ways, and one of the most revealing is through its sparkling wines. Altitude, climate, soil, grape varieties, and production methods shift from region to region, shaping wines that capture the country’s geography in the glass. Within the span of just a few kilometres, the style moves from layered, structured sparkling wines to brighter, fruit-driven expressions produced through either the Metodo Classico or the Martinotti-Charmat method.
