SEMI-SPARKLING

The production of semi-sparkling wines requires the same conditions as those of the sparkling wines category, which means the existence of an appropriate grape variety as well as relevant local tradition.To qualify a wine, as a semi-sparkling wine it must have pressure up to 3 atmospheres, meaning there should be less natural sparkling than a sparkling wine.The way semi-sparkling wines are produced is different (closed tank method or méthode Charmand – Charmat or cuve close), therefore their cost is less than the sparkling wines.
