Nestled among the rolling hills of Lombardy between Brescia and Lake Iseo, Franciacorta is Italy’s benchmark region for traditional-method sparkling wine. Chardonnay and Pinot Nero sit at the heart of the region, with every Franciacorta undergoing its second fermentation in bottle and extended ageing on lees. From the creamy elegance of Satèn to structured Rosé and long-aged Riserva, the wines combine fine bubbles, freshness and remarkable depth.

Often compared with Champagne, Franciacorta has developed a distinctive identity of its own, with an increasing focus on individual vineyards, thoughtful farming and wines that reflect the region’s unique glacial soils and temperate northern Italian landscape.
