Default Can Sparkling Wine From The U.S. Be Called Champagne?

The name Zinfandel may be a synonym of Primitivo - and officially
recognized by USA and EU - but its usage is definitely tied to a
place, to the rich history and culture of wine in America. As an
Italian I would never buy a wine from Puglia labelled Zinfandel.


As far as I see, all the Italian Zinfandel is being sold in the US.
Is it time for Gallo and Bronco to market US made Primitivo (out of
Zinfandel grapes) in Italy?
