frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What is the specific origin and winery of this sparkling white wine?
This distinguished spumante is produced by the prestigious and historic Dezzani winery. Its specific origin rigorously comes from the renowned delimited area of Asti, protected by the DOCG appellation in the emblematic Piedmont region, Italy.
