Territory

Located a few steps from Brescia and Lake Iseo , Franciacorta is an area famous for the production of the homonymous wine, Franciacorta DOCG ; it extends for about 200 km and embraces 19 municipalities in Brescia.

The influence of the lake climate with its temperature ranges, the hilly landscape and the presence of heterogeneous plots with high permeability make this morainic area the ideal place to give life to an excellent wine .

Soil

The Franciacorta soil is essentially of morainic derivation : it is in fact made up, for the most part, of deposits transported over the last 700,000 years by the ancient glacier, the Oglio glacier. It is a very particular terrain, rich in sand and silt , where there are stones of different shapes, types and colours.
