First day back from Bardolino, and a couple of Italians. WHY I’m still drinking Italian bewilders me, but happenstance will occur. The bubbles a gift–the Sette Ponti a restaurant-buy. My adoration of Crognolo is well-documented on these pages, but the prosecco–frankly–just looked like crap. But it’s not. Color me shocked, but this terribly-labeled, frothy Extra Dry is shockingly good. Beautiful…

Is Prosecco a champagne or wine?

When it comes to the world of bubbly beverages, the terms "Champagne," "wine," and "Prosecco" often appear interchangeably, causing confusion among enthusiasts. While all three are associated with celebrations and special occasions, there are significant differences that set them apart. In this article, we will delve into the world of sparkling wines, specifically exploring the distinction between Champagne, Prosecco, and other types of wine.

Understanding Champagne and Wine

Champagne, a variety of sparkling wines, has its origins in the Champagne region of France. It is known for its distinctive effervescence, elegant flavors, and association with luxury. Champagne is produced using a traditional method called méthode champenoise, where secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle. This labor-intensive process contributes to the complexity and quality of Champagne. The Champagne region, with its unique terroir, including soil composition and climate, plays a crucial role in the production of these exquisite wines.

Wine, on the other hand, is a broad category that encompasses a wide range of alcoholic beverages made from fermented grapes. It includes still wines, which are non-effervescent, as well as sparkling wines, which possess varying levels of carbonation. Unlike Champagne, which refers specifically to sparkling wine from the Champagne region, wine can be produced in numerous regions worldwide, each with its own distinctive characteristics.

Prosecco: The Sparkling Wine

Prosecco is a type of sparkling wine that hails from the Veneto region in northeastern Italy. It has gained popularity in recent years due to its approachable and lively nature. Unlike Champagne, Prosecco undergoes a different production process known as the Charmat method. This technique involves conducting the secondary fermentation in a large tank rather than in individual bottles. It results in a fresher, fruitier style of sparkling wine, often characterized by notes of green apple, pear, and citrus.

The primary grape used in Prosecco production is Glera, which contributes to its light and delicate flavor profile. The Prosecco region, encompassing Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, benefits from the region's microclimate, ideal for cultivating grapes that yield high-quality Prosecco. Prosecco is typically enjoyed young and is often associated with casual gatherings, brunches, and outdoor celebrations.

Exploring Sparkling Wine

Sparkling wine is a broader category that encompasses a diverse range of effervescent wines from various regions worldwide. It includes not only Champagne and Prosecco but also other sparkling wines such as Cava from Spain, Crémant from France, and sparkling wines produced in the New World. Sparkling wine is characterized by its carbonation, achieved through different production methods like the traditional method, Charmat method, and carbonation.

Sparkling wine has seen a surge in popularity, with consumers embracing its festive and celebratory nature. It offers a wide spectrum of styles, ranging from bone-dry to sweet, and from light-bodied to full-bodied. This versatility makes sparkling wine a fantastic choice for a range of occasions, from toasting milestones to pairing with various cuisines.

The Best Sparkling Wines

When it comes to the best sparkling wines, there are numerous options available to suit different palates and preferences. Champagne remains synonymous with luxury and is often the go-to choice for special celebrations. Some renowned Champagne houses, such as Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, and Dom Pérignon, consistently produce exceptional sparkling wines that embody elegance and finesse.

However, there are also outstanding sparkling wines produced outside of the Champagne region. Crémant, for example, offers an affordable alternative to Champagne, with notable regions like Crémant de Bourgogne and Crémant d'Alsace producing high-quality sparkling wines. Additionally, sparkling wines from regions like Franciacorta in Italy and Sussex in England have been garnering acclaim for their unique expressions.

The Rise of Rosé Sparkling Wine

One of the significant trends in the world of sparkling wine is the increasing popularity of rosé sparkling wine. Rosé sparkling wines combine the vibrant and refreshing characteristics of sparkling wines with the delicate fruitiness of rosé wines. They are produced using various methods, including blending red and white wines, maceration, or the saignée method.

Rosé sparkling wines offer a wide range of flavors, from light and crisp to rich and complex, making them incredibly versatile for food pairings. They have become a favorite choice for many wine enthusiasts, as they provide a beautiful balance between elegance and approachability. Regions like Champagne, Provence, and the United States have been producing exceptional rosé sparkling wines that continue to captivate consumers.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while the terms "Champagne," "Prosecco," and "wine" are often used interchangeably, they represent distinct categories within the realm of sparkling beverages.

Prosecco, on the other hand, is a sparkling wine from the Veneto region in Italy, crafted using the Charmat method, resulting in a fresh and fruity character.

The Seven Schools of Morne

[turn 9: (4+3)+(2+5)=14, 1 to Teppo=13, advance Págar: 13-5=8]

As the centuries turn, and the first generation returns to the sea, the number of Págar on Morne grows steadily, and their societies mature and accumulate knowledge. Many Schools appear, and some fade away, but seven Schools in particular become prominent beyond any others. They are all guided by one particular vision of which type of knowledge is the most important, and develop different techniques for acquiring it. While the basic arts necessary for any young Págur can be learnt at any of these Schools, or in one of the many smaller ones, these seven became especially prestigious, and famous for their steady output of new knowledge and inventions, within their respective fields.

The seven great Schools are as follows:

The greatest and most general is the Grand Academy of Flaxa Bay, at the mouth of the river Flaxa on the southern coast. It doesn't truly have one speciality, because it is the one School that draws the most students, and probably has some teacher from each of the others at any given time. It serves as the hub of interaction for Págar from all over Morne and beyond, and is where interdisciplinary or collaborative projects flourish.

Also in Flaxa Bay, but situated further west on the island of Thurnei, is the Institute of Geography. Here those focussed on learning of the wider world, and its peoples, live - or at least here they gather when not out on long journeys across the seas. To enable this habit, they have also perfected the construction of seaworthy Houses, and navigation. They are the Págar most likely to engage with other peoples, exchanging knowledge, and gifts (though only extremely rarely something so crass as trade, since that violates the ironclad principle of inalienable personal property), and living among them for a time.

Further to the southwest, in a great mine cut into the side of a mountain, sits the Ironearth Technical School, which specializes in metalworking of all kinds. Its foremost goal is perfecting the art of manufacturing tools, and deadly armaments. These are of course general skills any good Págur ought to learn, but at Ironearth the first firearms were invented, and here the best ones are still made.

In hilly lands of central Morne, the College of Theology acts as a beacon for all those interested in divine mysteries and magic. There is fierce debate within the College over the nature and purpose of the Gods, and whether myths and tradition collected by the Geographers is in any way admissible evidence, or if they should only reason from first principles, or direct observations. The Theologians are alos divided into the theoretical variety, which hold that their goal ought to be studying the divine and learning how it works, and the experimental ones, who try to devise different methods for catching a God's attention, acquiring their favour, and effecting various kinds of miracles.

To the east, in the Valley of Porcelain, the School of Scribes has created a truly public record of all Págar and their history. Great stelae of white porcelain are placed here, detailing the events of each year, or an individuals life and accomplishments, and stand along the shores of the Glera, along with various statues, and some Houses. Anyone can raise a stele, but senior scribes often inspect them, and if one is found to be untrue, or particularly ugly, it will be removed, and its creator will be called to answer for defiling the sanctity of the valley. The scribes also write on other media, and many books are written here and stored in the School Archive. These can then be borrowed, in exchange for another book, with the understanding that you, or someone else you've switched books with along the way, will return it eventually. Many other schools have also adopted this system, and so it comes that there is a large scale circulation of literature of all kinds among the Págar wandering Morne, with the Archive of the Scribes as a central node.

In the furthest north, two Schools lie on the peaks of Balach-Tur. These are not actually particularly large, and are mostly of interest for their peculiarities. They are both mainly concerned with the observation of the celestial bodies, but in different ways, and they hate each other with a passion.

The Star-Counters document the movements of all objects in the sky, calculating their cycles and grow obsessed with the passage of time, the age of the world, and the empty darkness that seems to harbour a sinister mass in its heart. Something is deeply wrong in the firmament, and if the most troubling calculations are correct, that Wrongness is slowly, but steadily, getting closer.

The Moon-Watchers also gaze skywards, but their telescopes are all focused on the Moon, and the strange goings-on there. When they first set their eyes on the Moon, it was interesting enough, with curious craters, and seas in different colours, but from that time, they have observed and documented what must be the growth of a large city. Who lives there? What are they like? Why are they always, always building? Oh, if only there were a way to go to the Moon and find out! But as of yet, none of the Moon-Watchers' attempts at flight or communication appears to be successful.

To be counted as a true polymath, and a paragon among Págar, one must attend each of these seven Schools, learn their ways, and add something significant to their fields of expertise. This is however a lofty ideal only very few ever accomplish. Most go to Flaxa bay at some point, of course, and at least one or two of the other schools in the southern parts of Morne, but only few go all the way up Balach-Tur, and of those that do, many abandon their studies early, or catch the obsession and never return down at all.

Rialto Bridge

The Rialto Bridge is the oldest of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. Connecting the sestieri of San Marco and San Polo, it has been rebuilt several times since its first construction as a pontoon bridge in 1173, and is now a significant tourist attraction in the city.

Prosecco (an Italian wine)

It's located in the northeast of Italy, near the city of Trieste, close to the border of Slovenia. This former town, now suburb of Trieste, is what you might call the birthplace of Prosecco because this is where the Glera grape and Prosecco wine is originally from.

It is thought to have been referred to by the Romans of the area, as far back as 200 BC, as Puccino. The first documented mention of Prosecco comes in a poem written in 1754 by Aureliano Acanti. Just as France has a Champagne region, North Eastern Italy has a designated Prosecco region.

Prosecco contains polyphenols, which are plant chemicals loaded with antioxidant properties. These polyphenols assist in lowering blood pressure and improving circulation, which lowers your risk of stroke and strengthens the health of your heart.

The high temperatures and the great drought will give us less grapes, but with more sugar for an excellent Prosecco wine! Cheers!
