What is the only DOCG area in Italy to have a sparkling wine that is made in the traditional champagne method?
  1. Franciacorta
  2. Barbaresco
  3. Chianti
  4. Piemonte
Explanation
Answer: A - Franciacorta is the only DOCG area in Italy to have a sparkling wine made in the traditional champagne method. In 1995 Franciacorta became the first and only region in Italy to insist on using the traditional champagne method. Although this does not guarantee quality, it was the first sign that Italy was beginning to take the production of their sparkling wines more seriously.
