A wine term describing wine that is slightly sparkling or effervescent, with just a hint of carbonation.
From Italian 'frizzante,' derived from the verb 'frizzare' (to fizz or sparkle), related to the Germanic root 'frizz' meaning to make fizzy or effervescent.
Frizzante wines are Italy's answer to champagne but are lighter and less expensive—Prosecco is technically 'frizzante' rather than fully sparkling, making it perfect for casual celebrations!
