Frizzante vs. Spumante Prosecco
Both frizzante and spumante describe the level of effervescence (i.e. the strength of the bubbles) in a bottle of sparkling wine. Wines labeled ‘frizzante’ are gently sparkling, while wines labeled ‘spumante’ are more effervescent and fully sparkling. Both types of Prosecco are produced using the charmat method. Once primary fermentation has been completed, the winemaker 
induces a secondary fermentation with a mixture of yeast and sugar and seals the wine in a stainless steel tank to trap the CO2 inside (which makes the bubbles). How long the CO2 is trapped in the wine dictates how bubbly the final product will be. Frizzante takes around 30 days and Spumante around 40 days. Frizzante wines stay under 2.5 bars of atmosphere/pressure while Spumante wines are >3.5 bars and usually between 5 and 6 bars.
Frizzante Prosecco is a traditional Italian effervescent wine for everyday drinking. Many restaurants and family dinner tables in Italy will offer a carafe on the table at the beginning of the meal, as a way to cleanse the palate and entice the taste buds for the meal to come. Frizzante Prosecco also pairs well with a variety of foods including salads, seafood, and creamy soups. The Veneto Prosecco is often paired with Italian salumi and cheese, and truly reflects the essence of the region in which it’s created. The traditional Spago string closure is often used, along with a cork. Only frizzante Prosecco can be closed this way due to the lower level of CO2.
Spumante Prosecco is a fully sparkling wine, perfect for special occasions or anytime a more fully sparkling experience is desired. Spumante produces the characteristic foam when poured as they are more effervescent and complex. A “mushroom” cap and cage is compulsory with spumante, and adds an air of elegance to the overall presentation. Spumante Prosecco can be served as an aperitif, with meals or with sweets, standing up incredibly well to high-fat, rich meals and desserts.
