New Sparkling Wines from Italy to Austria

By Megan Krigbaum

Sparklers are popping up in unexpected places. Here are three exciting new bottles.

New sparkling wines from Italy to Austria.

Lini 910 Labrusca Lambrusco Bianco ($15)

Most people expect Lambrusco to be red, sweet and simple; instead, Italian cult favorite Lini 910 makes a white Lambrusco with a pretty herbal aroma and appealing apple notes.

Domaine de la Taille aux Loups Triple Zéro ($25)

Jacky Blot, a Loire wine broker and winemaker, creates this elegant, crisp sparkling Chenin Blanc with fully ripe fruit and no added sugar, a remarkably hands-off approach.

Szigeti Grüner Veltliner Brut ($24)

Several Austrian wineries are now producing sparkling wines with the crisp Grüner Veltliner grape. Teeny, frothy bubbles and bright fruit make this bottling incredibly refreshing.
