Franciacorta

Images for Franciacorta

Franciacorta is a sparkling wine that is produced in the Franciacorta region of Lombardy, Italy. It is made using the traditional method of secondary fermentation in the bottle, similar to Champagne and other sparkling wines.

Franciacorta is known for its elegant and refined taste, with fine bubbles and a range of fruit flavours, including apple, pear, and citrus, as well as floral and nutty notes from the aging process. It has a dry to off-dry finish, with a light to medium body and a high acidity.

Franciacorta is typically made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Blanc grapes, although other grape varieties may also be used. It is often aged for a minimum of 18 months, which gives it a complex and nuanced flavour profile.
