Broken Cork on Sparkling Wine

I tried to open a bottle of an Italian sparkling wine this evening. In doing so, the cork broke at about the bottle's edge.

I am tempted to toss the thing rather than try and safely remove the cork.

Any ideas?

This is a decent bottle, but nothing really special. It goes for about $25, so if there are doubts about whether the cork can be removed I am inclined to dump it rather than try it.

Seems to me, you might try returning the bottle to the store you bought it from. Sounds like the cork could have been defective.

How to get a cork out of a bottle. This is cool, but only works when the bottle is empty.

It is not a matter of the cork being pushed into the bottle.
The issue was that part of the cork broke and the second part left the bottle sealed.
If it was an ordinary bottle of wine it would be no big deal.
I know how Champagne corks typically come out with some force, so I am concerned about how to approach this without doing anything dangerous.
Would people use an ordinary cork screw on this, or will the force create problems?

Well, you could always try sabering it open.

I'd open it very gently with a corkscrew of some kind, with the opening pointing away from those that you love. If you go very slowly, you should be able to lift the cork and let out the gas without allowing the cork to rocket out of the bottle and take out your eye. Additionally, if you haven't been moving the bottle in the last day, it should be safe anyway. That being said, I've never seen a cork break on a bottle of sparkling wine. Best of luck.

I've had this happen on a cheap bottle of prosecco and I used a corkscrew, very gently, to remove it. It came out easily.
