pinprick sensation, slight effervescence
depending on the context...
Not to be outdone in linguistic precision, the French employ the term perlant for an even lower level of fizziness; German Perlwein brings the same point across. The Spanish term aguja refers to a slight natural effervescence in the wine. The Italian vivace connotes a pleasant light sparkle.

Aguja Spanish term used for the sensation of slight pinpricks on the palate produced by some wines that contain carbon dioxide bubbles. This carbonic gas left in the wine should be the result of the wine's own fermentation and should never be added manually

Comment: "Thank you, Rachel. It's about the sensation, not the description of "vino de aguja". I'm so sorry for this additional information."

sparkling wine
At least here in the United States, we call it "sparkling wine", not "sparkly wine".

James A. Walsh
: The OSD calls it "slightly sparkling wine", and I think that's the distinction: slightly. I drink the stuff myself, and I think Neil's "sparkly" conveys that lesser degree of sparkle they mean. Or as he suggests, leave it in the Spanish in italics...

Carol Gullidge
: seems a good compromise. The Blanc Pescador, which our family drinks a lot of, is described as a "Vino de Aguja", and by an EN seller (The Spanish Table") as "a natural, refreshingly light spritz.". I think this pretty well sums it up!

AKA sparkling.
Probably sometimes best left as 'Vino de Aguja' in italics to try to retain some mystique :-)

NB: I posted "sparkly" for 2 reasons:
1.- It can describe the sensation AND the wine;
2.- Vino de Aguja is not really as fizzy as other "sparkling wines", and are better described as "semi" or "slightly sparkling", as our colleagues nave posted.
Pax Ellen, I consider "petillant" to mean semi-sparkling, as it's less fizzy than, for example, cava.

Slightly or semi-sparkling is a good description for these less fizzy versions :-)
