If so, I would like to introduce you to Italy's answer to sparkling wine, Prosecco. It is cheaper and lighter than its French cousin, Champagne. The essential difference between the two, is in the methods of fermentation. In Prosecco's stainless steel Charmat method, the wine loses Champagne's yeasty complexity but retains a fresh mouthwatering crispness. • L'Antica Quercia is a certified organic wine producer. This actually means more than you might originally think. Of course all activities in the vineyard must meet the organic standard. But to be certified, even in the winery, strict protocols must be maintained.
