Franciacorta DOCG Spumante
Franciacorta, Brescia, Lombardia
Italy's finest sparkling wine appellation — Franciacorta DOCG from the glacial morainic hills south of Lake Iseo in Brescia. Made from Chardonnay, Pinot Nero, and Pinot Bianco via the metodo classico (secondary fermentation in bottle, minimum 18 months on lees for non-vintage, 30 months for Vintage, 60 months for Riserva). The unique glacial soils and lake microclimate produce sparkling wines of persistent perlage, biscuit-and-citrus aromatics, and creamy texture that rival Champagne.
