Italian Sparkling Wines: Prosecco, Asti, and Franciacorta

If you want to bring a bit of Italy to your table, nothing beats the sparkling wines from the Boot. Each wine, whether Prosecco, Asti, or Franciacorta, transports you to the heart of the Italian regions where they are born, the fruit of a millennia-old tradition. From the Prosecco, fresh and light, ideal for an aperitif, to the Asti, sweet and sugary, perfect with desserts, not to mention the Franciacorta, a prestigious wine with complex aromas, each bottle tells a story of craftsmanship and passion.

Tasting Tip: For an optimal experience, serve Prosecco well chilled, around 6-8°C, to enhance its liveliness and fruity aromas. The sweeter Asti pairs perfectly with light desserts. As for Franciacorta, it deserves to be tasted at room temperature to reveal all its complexity.

  • Crafted by passionate artisans, these wines are available in limited quantities, far from the big stores.
  • Each bottle is a tribute to the Italian terroirs, offering a tasting experience far richer than a supermarket wine.
