Production of Sparkling Wine

The production of sparkling wine involves careful selection of base wines and precise control of fermentation and carbonation. In the traditional method, known as méthode champenoise, the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, resulting in fine bubbles. The tank method, on the other hand, involves fermenting the wine in large pressure tanks, producing a fresher and fruitier style.
