Northeastern Italy has many different white wines and the likelihood is that you will see grapes like Gewurztraminer/Traminer, Malvasia, Sauvignon [blanc], Riesling, Chardonnay and many others. These wines can be quite affordable though there are always a few producers who manage to get top prices. In my experience in Italy sparkling wines like are often served more as aperitivo wines than with meals, though I have ordered sparkling wines with food on occasion.
