Semi sparkling wine, where the second fermentation takes place in special pressurized tanks. Following the formation of bubbles, the wine is bottled. The Frizzante type has a pressure of about 2.5 bar, and thus approx about half the pressure of a Spumante or of champagne. See e.g. the Lambrusco wines.

That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
If you envision Sicily as an independent country, it would have the world’s seventh largest wine production, but despite the large quantities, the quality is high and steadily increasing. Today, Sicily has Italy’s third-largest wine production, and the island’s wine is Southern Italy’s most stable in terms of quality.
