Used to describe the slight pinpricks on the palate produced by wines containing carbon dioxide bubbles. Vino de aguja (slightly sparkling wine) is a type whose carbonated content can be felt in the mouth as a light pinprick or tingle, and whose gas bubbles are visible in the wineglass. This carbonic gas left in the wine should be the result of the wine's own fermentation, and should never be added artificially.
