Sparkle Wine Makers

Gabri met this hilarious Sicilian at the party. He’s in the army and is based in Trentino, way in the north. Funny thing is, everywhere he goes he buys wine before it goes through its second fermentation, bottles it himself, and therefore makes sparkling wine. He’s made sparkling Pino Grigio, sparkling Merlot, sparkling Chardonnay, etc. It’s really funny. We’ve never seen anyone do this. Riccardo’s dad does this too. He drives all the way up to Friuli, buys Tokai and Merlot and Refosco and makes them all fizzy. Hilarious. We were drinking it at the party. These are all serious salt of the earth people who’ve invented this funny way of bottling and drinking wine. Maybe they’re on to something?
