Activities & Resort Facilities
Franciacorta is a rural area with a lengthy history and traditions. Opinions as to the name’s origin differ widely, but the most convincing is that it derives from “francae curtes”, small medieval communities of Benedictine monks who obtained exemption from taxes and duties in exchange for teaching the local inhabitants how to grow vines.
Still marked by the original boundaries, Franciacorta is an area renowned for the production of sparkling wines of the same name, made according to the classic method, with slow fermentation in the bottle.
All wine bearing the name of Franciacorta wine is obtained from grapes grown in this area, which is delimited to the north by Lake Iseo, to the east by the foothills of the Rhaetian Alps that separate Valle Camonica from Val Trompia, to the west by the river Oglio and to the south by Mt. Orfano.
Franciacorta DOCG is Italy’s prime sparking wine, the country’s first and bottle-fermented Brut to obtain this recognition, in 1967.
Franciacorta wine cellar production, though, is not limited to sparkling wine. The Terre di Franciacorta DOC status was awarded to still white and red wines in 1995.
