What is the difference between Prosecco, Spumante (Charmat) and Champagne?
answer to this question in a very simple and concise, we can say that the bubbles are formed naturally in the same way, but change the container in which fermentation takes place and time where the yeast remains in contact with the wine.
For sparkling wine Prosecco and alucini types sparkling wine using the Charmat method, while the Champagne, the Champagne method and both methods of sparkling wine is from the raw material, namely wine. In the case of Prosecco, for example, the grape used is Glera, while using the Champagne grapes Pinot (Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) and Chardonnay.
For Prosecco, Prosecco is made in quiet stainless steel autoclaves with sugar and yeast. Once the temperature reaches 20 ° attack the yeast and sugar bubbles and produce alcohol (fermentation). After about a month becomes the Prosecco sparkling wine yeasts that have completed their work are removed (filtration) and Prosecco is bottled.
for champagne instead, the wine is bottled with sugar and yeast. The bottle is corked and left to ferment for lying about two years during which it is slowly rotated (remuage). Yeasts are brought into the neck of the bottle and disposed of expelling the frozen and ice cube that contains them (dégorgement) is added to the liqueur d'expedition (the personal touch winemaker) and then the champagne is ready.
The merits of Prosecco are therefore youthfulness, freshness and fragrance of fruit and flowers, while those of Champagne are the complexity and the typical smell of yeast. Prosecco is easier to drink and to understand. It is not to be an expert connoisseur to enjoy a glass of Prosecco because it is more easy and less challenging, in fact, is not considered a sipping wine but to drink happily in the company.
