"Bollicine" 2014: celebrating the success of Italian sparkling wines
"The Italian sparkling wines – Marco Sabellico, Curator of the Guida Vini d’Italia by Gambero Rosso – are on the rise, and not just in terms of consumption. Success is measured also by the growing prestige and the recognition that our products obtain in foreign markets. Thanks to the international fame of the Prosecco D.O.C. and D.O.C.G. and of Asti, now in the world you can discover our "classic method" production: Franciacorta, Trentodoc and Oltrepò Pavese".
The sparkling wine of the Bel Paese is the type that in the past decade (2002–2012) has scored the best performance abroad.
In the town of Mogliano Veneto Italian sparkling wines are celebrated with growing attention towards the "Bollicine" from local grapes, the affirmation of Franciacorta in Italy and in foreign markets and the exploit of Prosecco.
The world that loves Bubbles: where do our sparkling wine go?
The USA, Germany, the UK, Canada, Switzerland, Japan, Russia and China: these are the countries that love our sparkling wines. In 2013 there was an increase in sales of Italian sparkling wines by 20% (in cumulative terms) compared to 2012. (data by Nomisma–Wine Monitor)
More and more Italian bubbles in the world
Many are the wineries producing at least one type of sparkling wine. The Italian bubbles "are appreciated because they are "typical" and have a good value for money and can be combined with the traditional, but also ethnic and .... global kitchen" – you can read in a statement to the event – moreover, it must be highlighted that these are becoming more and more "green". In effect, the attention of producers of sparkling wine towards organic, in the vineyard and in the wine cellar, is increasing.
