Info about, for or on the sparkling wines of Italy

(LAST EDITED / UPDATED: XX MONTH 2016)

Here are some links about, for or on the sparkling wines of Italy: 

SPARKLING WINES OF ITALY
  • Get to Know Sparkling Italian Wine – ". . .There are 5 major types of sparkling wines from Italy which include Prosecco, Lambrusco, Franciacorta and Asti Spumante. Get to know sparkling Italian wine." – September 23, 2013 – By Madeline Puckette – "About Us" – Source: WINE FOLLY – "The essential Guide To Wine"
  • Italian Sparkling Wines – "Shop Italian Sparkling Wines - choose from a huge selection of Italian Sparkling Wines from the most popular online stores at BHG.com" – "About Us" – Source: Found in the shop section on Better Homes & Gardens – ""
  • It Is Not Always Prosecco - A Sparkling Italian Wine Primer – "Most wine drinkers assume “if it is Italian & bubbly, then it must be Prosecco”. I can not blame them, as Prosecco is the number one sparkling wine of Italy in production and export numbers. It is closely followed by Asti. Most consumers associate fine perlage (soft bubbles) and a more or less sweet taste with these two most known sparkling wines. But there is so much more to sparkling wines in Italy than these two. Just as you shouldn’t call any sparkling wine “Champagne” (a very American usage, it seems to me - hello California Champagne, you strange beverage), you shouldn’t call all Italian bubbles “Prosecco”, either. All these names mean a specific area and very often a specific method - and are protected by law! Here is a quick introduction to the most important styles & names. This is by no means a complete list. To learn more, come to one of our sparkling wine tastings - we hold one every Saturday." – "About vino roma" – Source: vino roma – "wine tasting in rome - Drink wine. Not too much. Mostly Italian."
  • The Luxe Adventure Traveler Guide to The Prosecco Road – "We love wine, but that wasn’t always the case. Neither of us really had much of a taste for wine until we moved to Italy. Part of the appeal of wine was visiting vineyards. They’re just so atmospheric. In spring, the new leaf shoots start appearing on the vines that had been cut back after the harvest; as summer days heat up, tiny grapes begin to appear; the onset of véraison signals the end of summer; and the fall sets the remaining leaves ablaze in a sea of gold. Particularly in Italy, vineyards are set among the most picturesque castles and hilltop towns. We’ve definitely visited some beautiful vineyards in the last couple of years, but the Prosecco Road, winding along spaghetti thin roads in the Prosecco Hills of the Veneto has some serious wow-factor." – By – "About Us" – Source: Luxe Adventure Traveler – "Adventure Travel with a Glass of Wine"  
  • Sparkling Wines of Italy – "When most people think of Italian wine, they think of the lush, robust reds of Tuscany or the delicate white wines of Piedmont. They don't generally think of sparkling wine…but they should. Italy produces more different kinds of sparkling wine than any other country in the world. In fact, they have been crafting spumantes (literally, sparkling wines) since Roman times, long before Dom Perignon popped his first cork.From the light, off-dry Proseccos to the classic Franciacortas, Italian sparkling wines are varied, tasty, and often quite affordable." – Thu, 03/24/2016 - 00:00 – By Sandy Mitchell – Source: lifeinitaly.com – "is a website that covers multiple aspects of Italian contemporary life and tourism." – "News | Travel | Food & Wines | Culture | Lifestyle | Fashion | Moving to Italy | Learn Italian | Home & Garden | Places"

Info about things worth splurging on when traveling in Italy and beyond

(LAST EDITED/UPDATED: XX MONTH 2016)
Here are some links about things worth splurging on when traveling in Italy and beyond:

 THINGS WORTH SPLURGING ON WHEN TRAVELING IN ITALY AND BEYOND
  • 4 travel items that are worth splurging on – ". . .While it would be nice for every overseas trip to be a lavish experience of five-star hotels, gourmet meals and helicopter rides, such a lifestyle is typically out of reach for many of us. Thankfully, there’s a lot to be said for travelling on a shoestring budget. Eating street food, taking public transport and sleeping in cosy guest houses give you the unique opportunity to experience life like a local without putting too much stress on your personal bank account.  However, even seasoned backpackers recognise there are some things that are worth splurging on. Here are four travel items you should always pay top dollar for:" – March 17, 2016 – By – "About Us" – Source: Found in the blog@boq section on BOQ – "IT'S POSSIBLE TO LOVE A BANK"
  • 6 Things Worth Splurging on When Traveling in Italy – "When I give travel advice, the vast majority of the time it’s geared toward budget-friendly travel. I don’t have a trust fund, I assume you don’t, and yet that isn’t going to stop us from enjoying a trip to Italy now and then. And while we’d all love the luxury experience, most of us don’t want to get stuck with the bill. Italy isn’t an inexpensive country to visit, especially when compared with some destinations in Southeast Asia or even Eastern Europe. When you go, then, you want to make sure every euro is being spent wisely. I’m all for that – I want those spare euro for gelato, after all – but I also believe that there are some splurges that are totally worth it in Italy. This is my totally-not-comprehensive and entirely-subjective list of what’s worth the splurge in Italy. Your mileage may vary."  – blogger: Jessica Spiegal – Source: Italy Explained – "TRAVEL GUIDE | STORE | BLOG | ABOUT | MAIL"
  • Travel Investments That Are Worth the Splurge – "A big difference between someone who is cheap and some who is frugal is a willingness to spend on quality. Since I'm a pretty much a professional traveller, I've found that there are a few items that are worth splurging on that can actually save you money in the long run.  I've ranked them for you below on a splurge pain scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a minor irritation and 10 being a wallet-buster that really requires you to take a leap of faith but is actually worth it. These choices are subjective, of course, but they're based on my life experiences and observations. I hope that you can benefit from what I've learned along the way." – February 18, 2015 10:52 AM –  – Source: Found in the YAHOO! FINANCE section on YAHOO! – "search engine"

  • When to Splurge in Europe – "I’ve always been a fan of budget travel tips. For more than 30 years I’ve written and lectured about ways to stow-away, picnic, and get special deals to be able to afford international travel. My feeling has long been that “you experience more by spending less.” While that’s still true, over the years I’ve realized that you can also justify splurges as good values when you consider the experience gained and the time saved. . ." – "" – By Rick Steves – "About Us" – Source: Rick Steves' Europe – "Tours, Travel Guides, Tips & Video"

  • Travel Splurges Worth Making – "I’m just going to go ahead and admit something you probably already know about me: I suck at budgeting. I’m not great at math, I’m terrible at organization and worst of all I just have no willpower to stay in some sort of arbitrary daily constraint on how much I can spend.  I still travel very far for very little, but I’ll never be the sleep on the beach, eat canned tuna for a week kind of traveler. There are just some things I am never able to resist spending money on when traveling. This doesn’t mean that I’m the private jet charter, penthouse suite kind of traveler either, but there are some small splurges that just make all the difference to me when traveling." – February 3, 2013 – By – "About"  – Source: TWENTY-something TRAVEL – "WHY WAIT TO SEE THE WORLD?"
