As you know, prosecco is a sparkling wine that is produced in an area spanning nine provinces across the Veneto and Fruili Venezia Giulia regions.

Rating: 4.7
Champagne | Oenothèque Brut Champagne 1996, Dom Pérignon
Arguably the most prevalent type of sparkling wine, a wine can only be considered actual Champagne if it comes from the specific Champagne region of France. Dom Pérignon is always a vintage wine and can only be produced from the grapes of a single year. The Oenothèque is actually aged on cork rather than in crown sealed bottles, and has the perfect balance between fruity and acidity. Blending Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the wine is dense and full-bodied on the palate.

Cava | Cava Celler Batlle 2010, Gramona
Cava is a sparkling wine that originated from a region of Spain called Catalonia. It is produced in the traditional method and is primarily made from the Spanish grape, Macabeo. The Celler Battle also contrains the Xarel-lo grape and has notes of brioche and almond.
