An enchanting land, extraordinary producers and wines that are appreciated well beyond Italy&#8217;s borders: in Franciacorta, wine is a growing asset, because in one of Italy&#8217;s most important sparkling wine areas winemaking is ambitious and looks to the future with a desire for continuous growth.<\/p>\n<p>Franciacorta is a land, a method and a wine. Indeed, to say &#8220;Franciacorta sparkling wine&#8221; is almost redundant; Franciacorta speaks for itself and, what&#8217;s more, the production rules forbid the word &#8220;spumante&#8221; on the label. For us as consumers, though, whether or not we talk about Franciacorta sparkling wines is merely a matter of form.<\/p>\n<p>But let&#8217;s get to the substance. Here is a brief overview of the <strong>production<\/strong> and the <strong>production rules<\/strong>, leading up to our <strong>suggestions<\/strong>, some of the <strong>best Franciacorta wines<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#A1\">Franciacorta: still and sparkling wines<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#A2\">The Franciacorta DOCG appellation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#A3\">Wineries in Franciacorta:<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#A31\">Ca\u2019 del Bosco<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#A32\">Bellavista<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#A33\">Antica Fratta<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#A34\">Majolini<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#A35\">Uberti<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#A4\">Franciacorta in a special edition<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#A5\">Franciacorta Sat\u00e8n<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#A6\">Franciacorta Ros\u00e9<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#A7\">Franciacorta Millesimato<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"A1\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h2>Franciacorta: still and sparkling wines<\/h2>\n<p>Before getting to the heart of the matter, it should be said that among <strong>Franciacorta wines<\/strong>, besides the better-known sparkling wines, there are also three appellations: Curtefranca Bianco, Curtefranca Rosso and Sebino IGT. Reds and whites, always made with an approach aimed at protecting and enhancing the Franciacorta appellations and wines.<\/p>\n<p>As for the more famous bubbles, Franciacorta offers several styles, including <strong>Sat\u00e9n<\/strong>, <strong>Ros\u00e9<\/strong>, <strong>Millesimato<\/strong> and <strong>Riserva<\/strong>, but the one that undoubtedly stands out above all is the Brut, the first in Italy to receive DOCG status.<\/p>\n<div id=\"A2\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h2>The Franciacorta DOCG appellation<\/h2>\n<p>As well as for its organoleptic qualities, Franciacorta stands out on the wine scene for having been the first in Italy to obtain the <strong>Denominazione d\u2019Origine Controllata e Garantita<\/strong>. A sign of the sparkling wine&#8217;s exclusivity, in terms of both origin and production method, and a guarantee of quality.<\/p>\n<p>The value of such recognition is nothing new to Franciacorta, which had already obtained DOC status in 1967. With the arrival of the DOCG, this land and its wines gained great prestige, accompanied by new incentives and a desire to do ever better on the part of the local producers who are behind Franciacorta&#8217;s great success.<\/p>\n<p>As proof of this continuous and renewed commitment by all the Franciacorta wineries, the latest prestigious appellation, Curtefranca, arrived in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>As with all production rules, the DOCG imposes precise requirements on Franciacorta wines for them to bear the name. These include provisions on the territory and on the production method; for example, the Franciacorta DOCG appellation is reserved for <strong>wines made only by secondary fermentation in the bottle<\/strong>, with the sediment removed by disgorgement, according to the conditions and requirements set out in the rules themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The grapes used for Franciacorta DOCG, moreover, come from specific areas and municipalities in the <strong>province of Brescia<\/strong>, not from all of them. Then there are the rules on ampelography, viticulture, winemaking and more; every detail, even the most apparently insignificant, is a sign of a recognisable and unrivalled style and quality.<\/p>\n<div id=\"A3\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h2>Wineries in Franciacorta<\/h2>\n<p>What set in motion the powerful machine that gave birth to <strong>Franciacorta DOCG<\/strong> was the talent, hard work and strong passion of Lombardy&#8217;s producers. Excellent wineries that continue to keep a precise commitment: to maintain the quality of Franciacorta at the very highest level.<\/p>\n<p>With their splendid settings and a hospitality perfectly in tune with the magic of the land, the Franciacorta wineries have over the years become sought-after destinations for visits and tastings too; each of them, from the smallest to the best known, can boast its own philosophy and character which, taken together, help to give value to Franciacorta and its wines.<\/p>\n<p>Among the <strong>wineries in Franciacorta<\/strong> we find names that are important on the international scene too, historic estates and more niche producers, with results that always live up to high expectations.<\/p>\n<div id=\"A31\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h3>Ca\u2019 del Bosco<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/ca-del-bosco-my-wine-store.webp\" alt=\"Ca&apos; del Bosco\" width=\"870\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is undoubtedly one of the best known, a name that evokes values such as quality, prestige and Italian style: <strong>Ca\u2019 del Bosco is Franciacorta<\/strong>, one of the first wineries to grasp the essence of this land and turn it into outstanding wines.<\/p>\n<p>With its <a href=\"\/en\/marchio\/ca-del-bosco\/\">Ca\u2019 del Bosco Franciacorta<\/a> wines it fulfils the dream of a young <strong>Maurizio Zanella<\/strong>: to achieve extraordinary results tied to his own land, just as happens with Champagne. It does so through tradition, territory and dedication, but also hard work, passion and time, values that together shape Ca\u2019 del Bosco&#8217;s philosophy and production style.<\/p>\n<p>Ca\u2019 del Bosco was the first estate to express the quality potential of the area and, as early as the 1970s, it played a leading role in a true renaissance of Italian wine. What followed was enough to turn Ca\u2019 del Bosco into one of the most modern and advanced wineries in Italy.<\/p>\n<p>What sets these Franciacorta wines apart is also their unique method, the <strong>Ca\u2019 del Bosco Method<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as they are picked, the grapes are sorted and chilled, and every bunch is selected before going through the exclusive washing and whirlpool system, the &#8220;berry spa&#8221;. After crushing in the absence of oxygen, the must ferments in small oak barrels or vats, and mobile tanks make it easier to move musts and wines by gravity. Further decisive and meticulously controlled stages follow, such as long ageing on the lees, a disgorgement system designed by Ca\u2019 del Bosco alone and the unique marking of every bottle.<\/p>\n<p>Attention to every nuance leads to<strong> elegant, long-lived and more natural wines<\/strong>: the Ca\u2019 del Bosco Franciacorta.<\/p>\n<div id=\"A32\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h3>Bellavista<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/bellavista.webp\" alt=\"Bellavista\" width=\"870\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another leading name in the Franciacorta world is <a href=\"\/en\/marchio\/bellavista\/\">Bellavista<\/a>, a winery that started out as a small family business and which, again at the end of the 1970s, began an exceptional transformation, emerging as a strong, established company that deserves high praise.<\/p>\n<p>It is the land that makes the first and most important contribution: for <strong>Bellavista, Franciacorta<\/strong> means a considerable expanse of vineyards in the best-suited area, in particular on the hill named Bellavista for its splendid position. The purchase of the vineyards, which brought the estate to 203 hectares under vine, was followed by the meeting between <strong>Vittorio Moretti<\/strong> and winemaker<strong> Mattia Vezzola<\/strong>, a partnership that proved fundamental in defining the Bellavista style.<\/p>\n<p>What shapes the mark Bellavista gives its Franciacorta is respect for tradition, which in practice means specific processes such as the use of traditional presses for a gentle pressing of the grapes and a particular fractioning of the musts. The goal, shared with the other Franciacorta wineries, is excellence, and Bellavista achieves it by focusing on three main aspects: naturalness, consistent quality and recognisable style.<\/p>\n<p>The result is clear to taste. Bellavista&#8217;s Franciacorta wines bring together <strong>timeless class and style<\/strong>, rooted in simplicity and in artisanal attention to detail.<\/p>\n<div id=\"A33\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h3>Antica Fratta<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/antica-fratta.webp\" alt=\"Antica Fratta\" width=\"870\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here is a winery that has embraced the Franciacorta cause, capturing every nuance of this land in its wines: <a href=\"\/en\/marchio\/antica-fratta\/\">Antica Fratta<\/a>, the essence of Franciacorta.<\/p>\n<p>Antica Fratta focuses on the art of creating harmony between age-old knowledge and technological progress, a skill that is essential to the <strong>Franciacorta Method<\/strong>. Fundamental in this respect are its origins and the work of the winegrowers, who still today are ready to work painstakingly on every single bottle.<\/p>\n<p>An important and valuable imprint, which gives these Franciacorta wines <strong>the elegance and prestige of luxury wines<\/strong>, yet within everyone&#8217;s reach; in its image too, Antica Fratta evokes an idea of everyday refinement, with wines that can make any moment of the day special, without waiting for the right occasion.<\/p>\n<p>Wine becomes a means of communication, conviviality and meeting, of joy and relaxation. Whatever the feelings it arouses, in <strong>Antica Fratta Franciacorta<\/strong> we find the fruit of a passion to be lived always, and with awareness.<\/p>\n<div id=\"A34\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h3>Majolini<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/majolini.webp\" alt=\"Majolini\" width=\"870\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cantina Majolini<\/strong> has its roots in the 1960s, when grandfather Valentino Maiolini began his winemaking business with passion and an innovative vision, initially focusing on red wine. After a period of inactivity, in 1981 Valentino&#8217;s sons relaunched the business, marking a new phase of growth that continues today with the third generation, represented by the cousins Simone and Giovanni.<\/p>\n<p>Located in Ome, <strong>in the heart of Franciacorta<\/strong>, the winery draws inspiration from a symbolic vineyard: the &#8220;Ruc di Gnoc&#8221;, or stony hill, which was both the challenge and the starting point for the Maiolini family. Here the bond with the land is reflected not only in the quality of the wines, but also in an <strong>attention to art<\/strong>: from the first labels designed by the artist Giulio Mottinelli to the artistic collaborations that continue to this day. The winery itself is an architectural gem that combines tradition and modernity. Built on the model of the old local farmhouses, with natural materials such as wood and stone, it has been extended and renovated in several phases, respecting the historic character of the place.<\/p>\n<p>In a hilly area set between Lake Iseo and the Rhaetian Alps, <a href=\"\/en\/marchio\/majolini\/\">Majolini Franciacorta<\/a> wines are made using the Metodo Classico of secondary fermentation in the bottle, with ageing times ranging from 24 to 120 months. Every bottle is a tribute to the excellence of the land and to the family&#8217;s commitment to making unique wines, designed to enhance special moments and occasions.<\/p>\n<p>With its distinctive wines, Cantina Majolini is not only a benchmark for Franciacorta, but also an example of how tradition, art and innovation can live together in harmony.<\/p>\n<div id=\"A35\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h3>Uberti<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/uberti.webp\" alt=\"Uberti\" width=\"870\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another name, another important winery in Franciacorta: <a href=\"\/en\/marchio\/uberti\/\">Uberti <\/a>is yet further proof of how much the past plays a leading role in this land. The estate&#8217;s origins go all the way back to 1793, when Agostino Uberti became the owner of a small farmhouse and the <strong>surrounding vineyards in Erbusco<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Here too, the 1970s were the decisive period in the transformation of a small family property into a highly respectable wine business. The first Franciacorta harvest took place in 1978; from then on Uberti began an exceptional rise in the world of fine wine.<\/p>\n<p>Today the winery pursues a production philosophy which, as in the past, is based on <strong>environmental awareness<\/strong> and guarantees absolute transparency, a value that sets <strong>Uberti Franciacorta<\/strong> apart and expresses the estate&#8217;s own vineyards, where the vines are accompanied and cared for throughout their life cycle with the utmost attention to every small detail.<\/p>\n<p>Uberti&#8217;s Franciacorta wines bring together all the <strong>distinctive traits of each individual vineyard<\/strong>, characteristics that with every sip tell of the wonders of a land as unique as Franciacorta.<\/p>\n<div id=\"A4\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h2>Franciacorta in a special edition<\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned, for a sparkling wine to be called Franciacorta it must meet a number of requirements set by the production rules, factors that are decisive for the final result in the bottle.<\/p>\n<p>As for the grapes, Franciacorta may be made from <strong>Chardonnay and\/or Pinot Noir grapes<\/strong>, with up to 50% <strong>Pinot Blanc<\/strong> and up to 10% <strong>Erbamat<\/strong>. The latter is an old native variety from the province of Brescia, rediscovered and brought back to life in recent years, and added to the production rules with the latest amendment.<\/p>\n<p>The dosage styles available are: Pas Dos\u00e9, Brut, Extra Brut, Extra Dry, Sec or Dry, Demi-Sec. Secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle, with a minimum of 18 months&#8217; ageing on the lees; maturation lasts at least 25 months from the harvest.<\/p>\n<p>And now for the tasting notes!<\/p>\n<p>Franciacorta has a golden straw-yellow colour and a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose it offers the aromatic range typical of bottle fermentation, with hints of bread crust and yeast, and delicate notes of citrus and dried fruit. It is <strong>savoury, fresh and harmonious<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Among our wines, we would like to highlight one in particular: the <strong>Cuv\u00e9e Prestige Edizione 44<\/strong>, a special edition of Ca\u2019 del Bosco&#8217;s multi-vintage interpretation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6 text-center\">\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/products\/cuvee-prestige-edizione-44-ca-del-bosco\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/cuvee-prestige-edizione-44-franciacorta-ca-del-bosco.webp\" alt=\"Cuv\u00e9e Prestige Edizione 44 Franciacorta Ca&apos; del Bosco\" width=\"95\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6\">\n<p>With this wine, Ca\u2019 del Bosco presents the countless nuances of Franciacorta by bringing together the personalities of 139 different wines, from 141 vineyard plots and 4 different vintages of Ca\u2019 del Bosco&#8217;s prized reserve wines.<\/p>\n<p>A Franciacorta with an extraordinary aromatic breadth and a fresh, balanced taste, which represents the essence of Ca\u2019 del Bosco and also of the unique heritage of this land.

A Franciacorta worth distinguishing and promoting, which in 1990 was given the name Sat\u00e8n. Why call it that? Sat\u00e8n meets precise requirements of musicality and phonetics, and it recalls the simplicity, purity and value of silk, as well as the word &#8220;satin&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Franciacorta Sat\u00e8n was registered in 1995 and reserved for producers who comply with the strict production rules.<\/p>\n<p>Sat\u00e8n is a Franciacorta made mainly from Chardonnay with up to 50% Pinot Blanc. The only dosage is Brut, and it is marked by a supple taste that comes from the selection of the base wines and the lower pressure in the bottle. It has a very fine, persistent perlage, a straw-yellow colour with greenish tinges, and a scent of ripe fruit with delicate notes of white flowers and toasted nuts. In the mouth it is savoury and fresh in just the right measure, and reveals its unmistakable suppleness, comparable to the delicacy of silk.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6 text-center\">\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/products\/franciacorta-saten-mirabella\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/saten-franciacorta-mirabella.webp\" alt=\"Sat\u00e8n Franciacorta Mirabella\" width=\"82\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6\">\n<p>Let&#8217;s discover the Sat\u00e8n from a winery that is doing great things in Franciacorta with a low-impact, eco-sustainable production philosophy: the <a href=\"\/en\/marchio\/mirabella\/\">Mirabella estate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mirabella&#8217;s Franciacorta Sat\u00e8n<\/strong> surprises with the suppleness with which it caresses the palate and, even before that, with its contrasting scents, between the sweetness of flowers, honey and exotic fruit and savoury, stimulating notes.<\/p>\n<p>It has a straw-yellow colour, a fine and persistent perlage, and in the mouth it offers great creaminess and elegance.<\/p>\n<p>A wine to try and to let yourself be enveloped by.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"A6\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h2>Franciacorta Ros\u00e9<\/h2>\n<p>Another much-loved type of Franciacorta is <strong>Ros\u00e9<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Franciacorta Ros\u00e9 may be made from Pinot Noir grapes, at least 35%, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc, up to 50%, and Erbamat, up to 10%. The grapes are left to ferment in contact with the skins for as long as it takes to reach the desired shade.<\/p>\n<p>There are two ways to make a Franciacorta Ros\u00e9: from a <strong>Pinot Noir<\/strong> base wine vinified on its own, or by blending it with <strong>Chardonnay and\/or Pinot Blanc base wines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The possible dosages are: Pas Dos\u00e9, Brut, Extra Brut, Extra Dry, Sec or Dry, Demi-Sec. The organoleptic profile of the Ros\u00e9 clearly shows the presence of Pinot Noir, which gives Franciacorta Ros\u00e9 its particular body and vigour, together with the variety&#8217;s characteristic aromas.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6 text-center\">\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/products\/franciacorta-solouva-brut-rose\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/franciacorta-rose-solouva.webp\" alt=\"Franciacorta Ros\u00e9 Solouva\" width=\"81\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6\">\n<p>We suggest the Franciacorta Ros\u00e9 from the <strong>Solouva farm estate<\/strong>, a Brut that shows intense notes of red fruit on the nose and is balanced, broad and structured in the mouth, with a long, persistent finish. It is a Ros\u00e9 made with a unique method, the Solouva method, according to which the grape is a fruit and must be picked ripe.<\/p>\n<p>The harvest for <a href=\"\/en\/marchio\/azienda-agricola-solouva\/\">Solouva Franciacorta<\/a> takes place when the bunches reach phenolic ripeness. The pressing is soft, with a very low yield, but it fully preserves the acidity of the must and the richness of the ripe grapes; at every stage, the sugar used is produced by the estate itself in the form of frozen must: the result is a wine that is a natural mirror of the fruit and the land.<\/p>\n<p>Only <strong>a few thousand bottles<\/strong> of Solouva Ros\u00e9 Franciacorta are produced \u2013 an exclusive wine not to be missed!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"A7\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h2>Franciacorta Millesimato<\/h2>\n<p>A single vintage for <strong>Franciacorta Millesimato<\/strong>: this is a wine made only when the vintage is particularly favourable. Its production is marked by longer ageing than the blends; moreover, Franciacorta Millesimato must wait at least 37 months from the harvest before going on sale.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of taste, it has a sensory personality perfectly in line with the climate of the year and the qualities of the grapes from that particular harvest.<\/p>\n<p>For Franciacorta Millesimato the dosages are: Pas Dos\u00e9, Extra Brut, Brut, Extra Dry.
