Franciacorta bubbles shine again among celebrities at the Emmy Awards

A distinctive sign of Italian elegance lights up one of the most illustrious galas in world cinema and television: Franciacorta . For the fourth year in a row, this symbol of Italian winemaking excellence has been chosen as the 'Official Sparkling Wine' for the 76th Emmy Awards . The event will take place on September 15 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, and will be broadcast live on ABC and several international networks, followed by the 'Governors Gala', a refined post-award party that pays homage to the winners and brings together leading figures from the television industry. Miriam Leone and chef Augusto Pasini, respectively an actress and chef of the 'Hill Colle' restaurant in Erbusco, will represent the best of Italy in this prestigious showcase. Among the nominees are hit series such as 'The Crown' , 'True Detective' , 'The Bear' and 'The Gilded Age' , with stars such as Jodie Foster , Jennifer Aniston and Meryl Streep .

Franciacorta cements its position as an ambassador of Italian style and taste, blending tradition and innovation in this international setting that is the annual hub for American television, an event that continues to attract luminaries of world cinema and theater, building a devoted global audience.

'It is an honor for us to represent Italy at the Emmy Awards,' commented Silvano Brescianini , president of the Franciacorta Consortium. 'This year, with the presence of figures such as Miriam Leone and Augusto Pasini, we celebrate Italian excellence in every aspect, from wine to gastronomy, through cinema and television.'

This year, in addition to the usual presence of the Franciacorta Bar, which will delight guests at the 'Governors Gala' with an assorted selection of labels from various wineries, the consortium will have as special guests Miriam Leone and, for the first time in the history of the Emmys, an Italian chef, Augusto Pasini, who will cook a dish created specifically for the event during the gala dinner.

The Franciacorta Emmy Awards celebration will kick off with a private dinner on September 12 and culminate on September 16 with a master class for sommeliers from California’s Michelin-starred restaurants, held at Angelini Osteria in Beverly Hills, offering a full immersion into the richness of Franciacorta’s winemaking heritage.

Franciacorta will also be featured prominently during events leading up to the main Emmy ceremony, including the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on September 7 and 8, which celebrate behind-the-scenes professionals, and the Performer Nominees Celebration on September 13, an exclusive event for nominated actors, presenters and cast members of the nominated series.

This partnership is part of a portfolio of high-profile collaborations for Franciacorta, which includes the Michelin Guide, in the US and Italy, the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, official partner of Milan Fashion Week, and the historic '1000 Miglia' car race. The Emmy Awards will also be broadcast live on Sky Italia on September 16 at 2:00 am.
