Spumante is a type of Italian wine similar to French Champagne. But unlike Champagne it can be made from any grape variety, the only requirement is that it reach certain minimum levels of pressure in the bottle. More lightly sparkling wines are considered frizzante in Italy and pétillant in France. Prosecco and Moscato d'Asti are examples of Spumante. Template:Wine-stub Spumante tastes more fruity than Champagne which is very dry.
