The word for sparkling in Italian is spumante, but that style of wine is now completely associated with sweet sparkling. So, to fight that stereotype, Italian's now make a sparkling wine from the grape Prosecco, which goes by that name, and is far more citric and acidic than spumante ever was.

Asti is by far the most important Italian city to give its name to a spumante.
