The best Franciacorta

Franciacorta represents one of the most suitable Italian regions for the production of the Classic Method. It is located in the south, south-east of Lake Iseo, in a territory created in remote geological eras by a large alpine glacier, which with its slow descending motion towards the south and subsequent withdrawal, has transported pebbles downstream, gravels and sands. These glacial deposits have created a vast area of morainic hills with soils rich in skeleton, very draining, particularly suitable for quality viticulture, which still characterizes the area today. The average level of wines is very high, but we have gone further, selecting some of the best labels of the denomination.
