Sparkling wines are produced following two different production methods:
The production process of Champenoise consists in inducing secondary fermentation in the bottle of wine through the introduction of sugars and yeasts. After a period of rest, where the bottles are placed on special racks pupitres that hold the bottles with the neck lower than the bottom of the bottle, there is the phase of remuage,which consists in a rotation of the bottles which makes the lees deposited on the cap. In the last phase of the process you freeze the wine contained in the bottle neck and removing the cap, the pressure squeezes out the deposit left on the wine stopper. At this point the wine is filled with a syrup of wine, liquer d’expèdition (which varies depending on the characteristic of the sparkling wine that you want to get) and closed with the traditional cork stopper mushroom with metal cage.
The Charmat method, provides a second fermentation of the wine in large containers, usually made of steel, pressure vessels, said autoclaves.
