Carlo Gancia, the father of Italian sparkling wine.
Carlo Gancia was born in Narzole in 1829 and in 1848 he moved to Reims where he spent a few years, engaged in learning the techniques of Champagne processing, returning to Italy in 1850. In the same year, Carlo Gancia, with his brother Edoardo, founded 'Fratelli Gancia' in Chivasso. By exploring and reformulating the concepts learnt in France and applying them to the Moscato grapes typical of his region, Gancia created a new type of Champagne in 1865, which he called Spumante Italiano, thus becoming the depositary and author of the official rules of the first Italian Classic Method, still used today.
