Franciacorta is a place, a wine appellation, and most importantly a wine.
[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1523631117351{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}” el_class=”paragraph1″]Franciacorta is a sparkling wine produced in the Province of Brescia in Lombardy, in northern Italy. Since 1995 the sparkling wines of this region have held DOCG status, the most prestigious wine classification in Italy. Franciacorta is produced from grapes grown within the boundaries of the territory of Franciacorta, a compact area resembling a large amphitheater with Lake Iseo forming its northern boundary with chains of hills extending both east and west of the lake forming it’s eastern and western boundaries.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1523395411870{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}” el_class=”paragraph2″]The proximity of Lake Iseo moderates the climate while the surrounding hills protect the region from wind and frost. Over six different soil types have been identified in the region, however, the majority of the soils are morainic and were laid down by glaciers that formed the lakes and valleys thousands of years ago. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”paragraph3″]Chardonnay dominates the planting in the region, while Pinot Nero and, to a lesser extent Pinot Bianco, play a supporting role in the wines in addition, to the newly approved Erbamat, an indigenous grape of the region. All the wines undergo their second fermentation in bottle and benefit from an extended period of aging on the lees prior to release, from multi-vintage blends to single vintage bottlings.
