Here is what's in store for you
Experience the essence of Franciacorta at La Riccafana with a captivating wine experience.
Your discovery experience at La Riccafana Franciacorta will start from the garden that rises above the winery, where we'll introduce ourselves. After a little introduction, I will immediately take you to visit the vineyard. Here you can take in the scents of nature at the top of your lungs while surrounded by the rows that bring the grapes to life.
Next, we will move to the winery. In front of you will be a large window from which you can admire the spectacular Monte Orfano. Riccardo will try not to bore you with technical and uninteresting explanations (of course he will be happy to answer any of your questions), but he'll be pleased to tell you about our working philosophy and, why not, even some curious anecdotes. Finally, it will be time for a fun wine tasting!

1 glass of Franciacorta DOCG Brut Bio Riccafana

My favourite wines ever!
A unique essence. Wines and great passion
We have just returned from the guided tour at the La Riccafana Winery in Franciacorta and I must say it was an absolutely exceptional experience! The tour was conducted personally by the owner, Mr. Fratus, who showed a passion and a love for his work that were palpable from the very beginning.
Our day began with a walk through the vineyards, where we could admire the lands cultivated with vines and appreciate the care and attention with which they are managed.
Afterward, we moved to the cellars, where we had the chance to explore the various rooms and learn about the processes related to winemaking. Our host explained to us with clarity and expertise the different stages of production, from fermentation to bottling operations. Even though we couldn't see the journey from grape to bottle in real time, as the visit took place out of season, the detailed explanations still allowed us to understand the mechanisms and techniques used well.
The most exciting part of the tour was definitely the tasting moment, where we were able to taste some of the winery's best wines and appreciate their different nuances and unique characteristics. The opportunity to have a personal and passionate guide like Mr. Fratus made the experience even more
Very good
Riccardo Fratus hosted us on Saturday 6/10 in his winery for a very interesting couple of hours.
We took advantage of a couple of friends from Bordeaux coming to Italy, oenology enthusiasts like us, to look for a winery in Franciacorta that offered a food and wine experience.
I must say that the place is fantastic, that Riccardo is a wonderful person and that for the price of €33/person it is not at all exaggerated: 3 good wines from their production with well-poured glasses (not always the case in other wineries...) paired with cured meats, cheeses and breadsticks.
A tour/explanation in the cellars and a walk in the vineyards.
Thank you, Riccardo
