franciacorta
Franciacorta , the name of a large territory and the exceptional wine that is born there. In this area, located in the province of Brescia, between Monte Orfano and Lake Iseo, sparkling wines of the highest quality are produced, according to the dictates of the Classic Method. Bubbles with a fine and persistent perlage and wide and elegant aromas, which have achieved great fame and remarkable prestige all over the world.
The history of winemaking in this area begins before the year 1000, when the territory of Lake Iseo was populated by numerous monastic convents, which occupied themselves with cultivating vineyards for purely ecclesiastical use. Exempted from the payment of duties to local authorities, their territories took the name of " curtes francae ", or courts freed from taxes, hence the name "Franciacorta".The territory enjoys optimal soil and climatic conditions, with sunny and dry soils, and a temperate climate thanks to the presence of Lake Iseo which mitigates the currents of cold air coming from Valcamonica. All this gives the wines freshness and extreme refinement.
Initially established in the production of still white and red wines, thanks to Berlucchi's intuition, Franciacorta started on the sparkling wine route, becoming, in 1995, the first Italian DOCG dedicated to the production of sparkling wines obtained exclusively with refermentation in the bottle according to the so-called "Classic Method", the same used in the production of Champagne .
In addition to the classic version, Franciacorta can be produced in the Satèn typology, the most typical of the area, Rosé , Millesimato , and Riserva, the highest quality tip of the entire production that stays on the lees for at least 5 years. The dosage, which varies according to the type, includes the Pas Dosé , Extra Brut , Brut , Extra Dry, Dry and Demi-Sec versions.
