Franciacorta is a prestigious Italian DOCG sparkling wine from the Lombardy region, renowned for its high-quality, bottle-fermented production method akin to Champagne.It's made primarily from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir (Pinot Nero), and Pinot Blanc (Pinot Bianco) grapes grown in the Franciacorta territory, which is located in the province of Brescia.

Like Champagne, the secondary fermentation that creates the bubbles occurs inside the bottle, a process that contributes significantly to its quality and complexity.

The vineyards geological and microclimatic differences, together with the different methods of vine cultivation, are the secrets that have gone into the creation of a new generation of Franciacorta wines at Contadi Castaldi.
