WINEMAKING: The harvested Italian white varietal grapes are pressed very delicately in order to avoid the skin color being transferred to the must. After fermentation at controlled temperatures, the straw-colored wine is obtained that is then converted to sparkling wine using the Charmat method. Before bottling, our Italian sparkling wine is fused with our special blend featuring all-natural flavors of oranges & cranberries to create Zonin’s Orange-Cran Riviera Spritz.
