Franciacorta DOCG

The Territory

Franciacorta is located in the heart of Lombardy, a stone's throw from Milan, overlooking the shores of Lake Iseo, in an area of about 200 square kilometers that includes 19 municipalities of the Province of Brescia. Its gentle hills, bordered west by the river Oglio and north-east by the last slopes of the Rhaetian Alps, owe their ancient origins to the glaciers that, retreating more than 10,000 years ago, created the amphitheatre within which the Franciacorta was born. The morainic origin gives the soils of this area an extraordinary mineral wealth, which combined with the heterogeneity that composes the soils, constitutes the distinctive element of a quality viticulture, fully appreciable in the sensory characteristics of each Franciacorta.

Franciacorta, like franciacorta wines and its spumanti, surely deserves a tour for its beautiful valleys between vineyards and olive groves, but once arrived in this beautiful corner, enthusiasts and connoisseurs will find much more to taste than the famous bubbles of Franciacorta.
