Furthermore, the internal pressure of Italian is less. Due to this reason they come in thinner bottles and the cap is usually screw or cork. Speaking of thinness, the bubbles of the frizzante they are thin too. They come off little by little and this is the reason why it does not generate foam when uncorked. Also, fruit juice is usually added during preparation. This sweetens it. Finally, we refer to the fact that they do not have an expedition liqueur. This is one wine and sugar mixture which is usually added when part of the drink is lost by removing the yeasts.
