About Franciacorta in Cantina
Franciacorta opens its cellars
In Franciacorta, the hilly area of the Province of Brescia famous worldwide for its Metodo Classico sparkling wine, autumn is the season for open cellars. The Festival Franciacorta in Cantina transforms the territory into a large, widespread wine-tourism route: among the key municipalities is Corte Franca, in the heart of the appellation, with its hamlets dedicated to viticulture such as Nigoline, Borgonato, Colombaro and Timoline.
What the festival offers
For an entire weekend, wineries offer a rich program of experiences:
- guided tours of cellars and vineyards
- tastings of Franciacorta Metodo Classico
- gastronomic proposals and picnics among the vines
- cultural, sporting initiatives and musical moments
- direct meetings with producers
The Metodo Classico
Franciacorta is a sparkling wine produced with secondary fermentation in the bottle, the same method as Champagne: for this reason, the festival is a precious opportunity to understand its techniques and appreciate its quality directly from the voice of those who produce it. In Corte Franca and other municipalities of the appellation, the event attracts enthusiasts, industry professionals and the curious, in a dialogue between wine culture, landscape and hospitality that makes Franciacorta an excellent wine tourism destination.
