The traditional method of producing sparkling wine, known as “método tradicional” in Spain and Portugal, “metodo classico” or “metodo tradizionale” in Italy, and “klassische Flaschengärung” in Germany, is used to produce Cava in Spain, Espumante in Portugal, and Franciacorta in Italy. Additionally, South African wines from the Western Cape region are labeled with the term “Methode Cap Classique” to indicate their production using the traditional method.
