Sparkling
Cava is out, Prosecco is in. Indeed Prosecco proves enormously to gain interest. On the Belgian and Dutch market, this is the fastest growing segment in wine consumption. Where Prosecco earlier was mainly known as a rather sweet sparkling wine is now in Veneto hard nailed to the road to bring a beautiful and varied selection here in the market. Prosecco has of course always a fruity and fresh taste but that is also perfect as a summer terrace drink. The "high end" Prosecco's safe to stiff competition from other prestigious sparkling wines. For those who prefer the classic (read as with champagne), the Italian market offers an enormous wealth and variety of sparkling wines made following the "metodo classico", so as Champagne. Best known is the Franciacorta but there are many other fine examples such as metodo classico of Scacciadiavoli based on the Sagrantino grape. Plenty of choice and enjoy it anyway!
