MAGLIATI - Sweet sparkling wine

ALLERGENS: Sulphites.

Some writings of the Roman period report wines with natural effervescence but most likely the Romans drank the must that still had to become wine; in fact, in order to put into practice the technique of sparkling wine, there is a need for a waterproof container, like the bottle, that allows to maintains on overpressure of 6 atmospheres at 20°C.

The sparkling wines are those wines characterized, at the opening of the bottle, by the production of foam, due the presence inside the same of carbon oxide placed in autoclave or produced during the fermentation.

When opening the bottle of VSQ (Quality Sparkling Wine), the product inside must have an overpressure of not less than 3.5 bar at an ambient temperature of 20°C, for “generic” sparkling wines (VS) must have 3 bar minimum, as well as for a VSQA (Aromatic Quality Sparkling Wine).
