Sparkling Wines above 100€

Sparkling wines stand out for their freshness, elegance, and versatility, becoming the ideal choice for celebrations, appetizers, and special moments. Their fine bubbles, vibrant acidity, and floral or fruity aromas allow enjoyment of very different styles, from the lightest and most refreshing to the complex and gastronomic ones with long aging. At Wine Palace we select national and international sparkling wines so you can find the perfect style for each occasion.

Production of sparkling wines

The production of a sparkling wine is based on provoking a second fermentation that generates the natural carbon dioxide that forms the bubble. This process can be carried out according to two main methods: the traditional method (as in cava or champagne), where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, and the Charmat method, where it is carried out in pressurized tanks to obtain fresher and fruitier sparkling wines.

Aging, the type of sugar added in the dosage, and the time on the lees directly influence the texture, complexity, and final style of the wine.

Types and styles of sparkling wines

• Brut Nature – dry, no sugar added, very fresh and direct.

• Brut – balanced and versatile, ideal both for appetizers and light meals.

• Semi Seco – with a touch of sweetness, perfect to accompany desserts or as a celebratory wine.

• Reserva and Gran Reserva – longer aging, fine bubbles, and complex nuances of bakery, nuts, and toast.

• Aromatic sparkling wines – more fruity and floral, made with varieties such as muscat or glera (prosecco).
