Franciacorta Rising

Franciacorta turns out world class Metodo Classicos that get better every year

Besides adopting drier styles across the board, gentler pressing of the grapes and longer aging on the lees, the real revolution is taking place in the vineyards, with a collective dedication to sustainable practices and organic viticulture.
