Italy beats France in the “sparkling wine world championship”, with the Trentodoc superstar

Italy beats France, in terms of bubbles, with the Trentodoc superstar: this is the verdict of “The Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships 2020”, the most authoritative sparkling wine competition in the world, created by Tom Stevenson. Waiting for the special prizes (The Best in Class, National Champions and World Champions by Style, which will be unveiled between December 7 and 11), the “medal table” sees, for the first time, a draw on gold, 47 to 47 (out of a total of 128), but with the Belpeaese surpassing the French on the silver front, 111 to 42 (out of 237 overall). With the fundamental contribution of the Trentino “mountain bubbles”, which brought 52 medals to the Italian cause, 20 of which were gold. A teamwork where shines the star of Ferrari, leader of Trentino sparkling wine, which brings home 9 gold and 5 silver medals, and second overall in the world, behind the French Louis Roederer, who collected 11 gold.
“The Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championship and Tom Stevenson are a point of reference for the world sparkling wine industry and an award of this kind is a source of great satisfaction and pride for our entire sector and a further stimulus for our members in the search for continuous quality improvement. Trentodoc’s growing reputation on the Italian and international sparkling wine scene is an important value for the entire Trentino region” says Enrico Zanoni, president of the Trentodoc Institute.
“Trentodoc never disappoints. It is undoubtedly among the three best regions in the world in the production of sparkling wine”, says Tom Stevenson, according to which the altitude and the mountains represent a great resource for Trentodoc, where 70% of the Trentino territory is above 1,000 meters above sea level, 20% above 2,000 and there are 94 peaks that exceed 3,000 meters. The territories dedicated to the vineyards, which in some cases rise at 900 meters above sea level, are plots of land stolen from the mountain, where the average ownership is very fragmented and the cost of labor is high.
A gratifying result for Trentodoc, but for all the Italian sparkling wines (with many medals also from Franciacorta and the “Prosecco universe”, in particular from the Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Docg Unesco heritage, but with digressions also in the Doc and Docg of Asolo, without forgetting Asti, the Lambrusco world, and “outsider” like Sicily, ed), in a record-breaking edition, explain the organizers, with 1,073 wines in the Competition from 30 countries, as many as ever in 5 years. With Italy at the absolute top.
