Italian wines remind the Italians themselves - sunny, heady, light and a little playful.
It is not for nothing that the Greeks at the beginning of our era began distillation here and gave the name of the southwestern part near Sicily Enotria (the land of grapes). Enoteka - a storage place and a collection of wines. And the king of the Enotra was called Ital. So, according to giving, modern sunny Italy began.
Italian winemaking
And the Greeks were right - here the vines took root easily and almost everywhere. For this reason, there is no strict gradation of wine drinks by region like in France in Italy. Yes, and the classification established by law does not suit producers, so high-quality wine can be labeled as Vino da Tavola - table wine. So you have to try everything, and suddenly you can open your super-Italy.
One of the first discoveries of winemaking Italy in Russia was sparkling wines. They immediately competed with domestic champagne drinks. The most praised were Martini Asti or Mondoro Asti. These drinks are still enjoying well-deserved popularity not only among the female half of the audience. Although it is women who are 65% fans of Italian sparkling wines.
Brand Asti
Asti is a city in the Piedmont region of Italy, around which there are 27 fortories - wineries.
For this reason, not all wine with the indication “Asti” on the label belongs to one winery. So, for example, Mondoro Asti champagne born in 1978 by the genius Enrico Serafino collected the most enthusiastic reviews. Currently, the right to manufacture and sell Italian sparkling wine, unique in its technology, belongs to the Campari Group, founded in 1860 by Gaspar Campari.
But the rights to Martini Asti belong to the world-famous Spanish company Bacardi Limited, which was founded in 1862 by Facundo Bacardi Masso. And the drink only benefits from this. Indeed, the Asti family of sparkling wines from Piedmont now has a wider flavor range, although the main quality has been preserved - the lightness of the drink is so unique that it rather relaxes rather than intoxicates.
Not all sparkling champagne
But this is not really champagne. The fact is that only in the province of Champagne in France produce real champagne wines. And in other countries and regions it is sparkling wines. That is exactly what is indicated on the label "Mondoro Asti" - Italian sparkling wine.
What is the difference between Italian sparkling wine and French champagne? Enrico Serafino was passionate about nature and, having learned in detail the process of making sparkling wines in France, methodically began to create his own technology, while improving the taste characteristics of the resulting drinks. He used the method of Turin winemakers of the XVIII century. The bottom line was that as soon as the wine in barrels began to ferment, it was bottled and then stored in cool cellars in special racks.
Then the process was improved, and since then only the most enthusiastic reviews about the sparkling wine “Mondoro Asti”.
This method is called the Charm-Martinotti Method. It was developed by the director of the Institute of Oenology in Asti, Piedmont Federico Martinotti in 1895. And the equipment was developed and patented by Eugene Sharma (France) around 1910. Sparkling wine made in this way can be stored an unlimited amount of time. And its palatability even improves. Thanks to the secondary fermentation, which takes place in specialized tanks, rather than bottles, the aromas and tastes of Northern Italy's wine drinks are fresher.
According to consumer reviews, sparkling wine “Mondoro Asti” only wins thanks to this unique technique: the taste and aroma of the drink do not go into dissonance with each other, as they have similar lightness and freshness.
