The foam properties of sparkling wines (Cava) made from two red autochthonous grape varieties, Trepat and Monastrell, and coupages, including different percentages of them, were studied during second fermentation and aging. The effect of second fermentation on foam gave the highest decreases when the base wines had the highest foam values, while gave the lowest decreases or even increases for the base wines with the lowest foam characteristics. However, the greater the HM and sigma of the base wine, the greater the foam values of the sparkling wine. Base wine determinations for quality control in cellars could provide information about future sparkling wine foaming. Acidity parameters, ethanol, sulfur, and polysaccharides contents were correlated to foam characteristics in the sparkling wines. In terms of color and foaming, wines made from the red varieties Trepat and Monastrell blended with white variety wines could be appropriate for elaborating "blanc de noirs" sparkling wines.
