Barone Pizzini Franciacorta Saten Brut 2015 750 ML

Franciacorta is marked by a long and deep sense of place. It references both a place of origin in name (Franciacorta is Italy?s first sparkling DOCG) and a method of production, metodo classico, where second fermentation occurs in bottle. The hills surrounding Lake Iseo form a glacial amphitheater, and it is here where the bubbly wines of Franciacorta were widely prized and consumed as early as the 13th century. Since 1870, Barone Pizzini has captured the area?s long cultural significance to help shape both Franciacorta?s legacy and contemporary character. The winery is a keen observer of their land, developing thoughtful farming models that have propelled the estate at the vanguard of their region.
