Abrami Elisabetta
(Winery in Lombardy)

Swathed in gentle breezes from the prealpine valleys, our grapes grow and mature in optimum conditions in the sun-drenched hills bordering Lake Iseo. Each soil type has its own kind of vineyard: Our land is selected and acquired to attain the very best results and stretches for 15 hectares between Provaglio d’Iseo, Passirano and Paderno Franciacorta. Excellent wine is brought to life in our vineyards through: careful vine selection, a low vine density per hectare, manual grape harvesting at peak ripeness, a low production per vine and a high degree of respect towards the environment. Each phase of production from the vineyard to the cellar is carried out employing distinct techniques. These techniques are based on rigid fundamentals and strict regulations which ensure that specific methods and expertise are used at each phase. The unique characteristics of our Franciacorta wine are achieved through the all-important meticulous and accurate selection of the land and of the grape variety. Abrami_13Great importance is placed on the grape pressing phase: only the best must, obtained from the soft and gentle first press, is used in the production of our wine. Further to this, the product is stored in our well ventilated and thermo-conditioned wine cellar in Provaglio. We are extremely devoted to our sole objective of achieving excellence in order to offer a new, high quality and honed product which nevertheless stems from ancient origins. For us, the summit of the mountain can only be reached when the special union that exists between tradition, technology and our fertile land is permanently kept alive and can remain intact.

The Massussi Farm was founded in 1985 started by her husband Vittorio and Giuseppina Ruggeri Massussi with the support of the maternal father Augustine, whose love for the land has given a great stimulus to the first years of activity. The Massussi family's passion for viticulture dates from the mid nineteenth century, when the forefather Louis already produced red wine. The vineyards planted in the early '80s to initiate the first experiments on the classical method that led to the first 500 bottles of bubbly in 1985. Currently the guidance of the Agricultural Massussi is entrusted to his son Louis, who in addition to the traditional production of Rosso IGT Sebino Pian sun Curtefranca the DOC, the bubbles and the vintage Franciacorta DOCG Chevalier Remuar DOCG, has joined the firm VDT rosy Venus, unusual Franciacorta, reaching high levels of quality and prestigious awards thanks to modern technology, and Passito IGT Sebino Full of Enchantment and very limited production.

Cantine Biondelli Societa' Agricola S.R.L.
(Winery in Lombardy)

The territory of Franciacota includes the Morenic Field which stretches south from Lake Iseo in that part of the Province of Brescia set in-between the Rivers Mella to the East and Olio to the West and that reaches out to the slopes of the Montorfano Hill. An area of extraordinary beauty which stretches from the banks of Lake Iseo across gentle hills and evocative valleys embellished by ancient villages, medieval castles, patrician villas, churches and remote abbeys. Different theories try to explain the origin of the name of this region, but the most plausible of them has the name Franciacorta descending from "Franchae Curtes". These were communities of Benedictine Monks who took possession of the area during the middle ages and that were granted fiscal exemption due to their work of drainage and reclamation of the land.

La Manèga - Franciacorta
(Winery in Lombardy)

Pregiata azienda vinicola in Franciacorta. Visite e degustazioni in cantina. La Manèga è l’azienda agricola fondata nel 1992 da Natale Rizzini. Ricchezza dell’attività è il vigneto che occupa poco meno di tre ettari sulle colline di Gussago, nel zona orientale della Franciacorta. L'impianto della vigna è sviluppato su terrazzamenti, sempre ben soleggiato e ventilato; la maturazione delle uve si determina già ai primi giorni d’Agosto, tempo nel quale si effettua la vendemmia. Il raccolto è in media, di circa 50 quintali per ettaro. L’appezzamento è costituito principalmente da uve Chardonnay. Nei primi anni di vita dell’azienda, l’uva veniva ceduta a rinomate cantine della Franciacorta. Successivamente si è deciso di produrre vino in proprio, senza però trascurare il punto cardine che ha portato alla nascita dell’azienda: la passione. L’uva sempre di ottima qualità crea un vino pregiato che ha permesso a “La Manèga” di ottenere la denominazione Franciacorta DOCG nel 2005. Da alcuni anni La Manèga partecipa attivamente agli eventi di Cantine Aperte, organizzati dal Movimento Turismo del Vino, ed è socia del Consorzio per la tutela del Franciacorta.

Concarena
(Winery in Lombardy)

A Cemmo, ai piedi del monte Concarena in Vallecamonica, gli inverni sono rigidi e l'estate è mite. D'autunno, quando le uve maturano, la notte è decisamente fresca mentre il giorno porta con se ancora strascichi d'estate. Così le nostre uve maturano lentamente e in armonia. Ogni anno, nel mese di ottobre, da quelle uve nascono i nostri vini: il Videt e il Barabant.

AZIENDA AGRICOLA BOTTARELLI FRANCO & VALERIO
(Winery in Lombardy)

Correva il 1937 quando Giacomo Bottarelli, industriale a Brescia nel settore delle calze, decise di trasformare in un serio impegno imprenditoriale quella che fino ad allora era stata soltanto una famigliare passione per la viticoltura. Fondò quindi con il fratello le “Cantine Giacomo & Fabio Bottarelli” che commercializzavano i frutti di una vasta azienda che con quindici mezzadrie si estendeva per circa 200 ha tra i comuni di Calvagese, Puegnago e Polpenazze del Garda. Qui, nella piccola frazione Picedo, aveva sede l’azienda che ben presto caratterizzò l’immagine di questo piccolo borgo delle colline dell’alta Valtenesi come vero cuore produttivo della viticoltura del Garda Bresciano. Nel 1959 alla morte di Giacomo i due figli Franco e Valerio raccolsero l’eredità del padre e nel 1967, per dare sfogo a giovanili entusiasmi e ad un sincero attaccamento alla tradizione, abbandonarono lo zio per creare l’attuale Azienda Agricola Franco & Valerio Bottarelli, ovvero una moderna azienda frutto di un equilibrato connubio tra passato, presente e futuro. Dalla fine degli anni settanta, in seguito alla morte dell’ancor giovane Franco, Valerio è rimasto l’unico proprietario e conduce l’azienda con il supporto della terza generazione, i figli Stefano e Roberto. Situata a Picedo di Polpenazze del Garda, sulle colline dell’alta Valtenesi prospicienti la Riviera Bresciana del Lago di Garda, l’azienda si trova a metà strada tra i ben noti comuni di Salò e Desenzano del Garda/Sirmione. L’attuale composizione presenta circa quindici ettari in proprietà coltivati prevalentemente a vigneto ed in misura residuale ad oliveto. Le coltivazioni vengono eseguite nel rispetto dell’ambiente con criteri di basso impatto dettati dalle più recenti normative comunitarie. Le uve coltivate nei terreni di proprietà sono Groppello Gentile, Marzemino, Sangiovese, Barbera, Riesling Italico e Chardonnay, mentre il Trebbiano di Lugana viene acquistato in zona di produzione.

All the vineyards of our farm sit on the slopes of a hill, hystorically named Bricco dei Roncotti (the word "bricco" means very steep). In the 1997 the Roncotti hill reborned. It was the constancy and the will of my father, who died in 2018, to guide us in the recovery of the hill. Despite the vineyards layed abandoned, too difficult the cultivation and very few the production, we didn't lose heart and started an incredible job, believing in this amazing hill, sure of the potential in the production of excellent wines. As climbers we knew that where it is difficult, the best results are achieved. The steep slopes weren't a problem for our family of explorers and climbers. My dad Arnaldo climbed all italian mountains ranging over 4000 meters and many other peak up to 7000 during his exploration trips run in the seventies with my mum Maria Rosa, even accross Sahara desert without any technological help, except a compass.

In 1999 the winemaker Roberto Gerbino took over the helm of the winery beginning a new course in the history of Le Fracce. Thanks to him, the activity of promotion and dissemination of knowledge in the viticultural field carried out by the Bussolera-Branca Foundation, owner of the Estate, finds a real field of application: Roberto implements in the vineyards and in the cellar the results of the scientific researches that the Foundation has financed over the years – from the use of mushrooms as natural protectors of the cuttings to the induction of resistance to drought – by giving wines a definition of great quality. Roberto also concentrates his energies on enhancing a vine that is part of the tradition of the area: Pinot Noir. In 2003 two labels dedicated to this noble red wine were born: il “Riserva” and il “Moro”. In 2015 a new chapter of the estate: Roberto, together with his friend Giorgio Visconti, took over the direct management of the winery, putting himself at stake. A choice of belonging and courage thanks to which Roberto succeeded in transmitting the philosophy of the Foundation and his vision in wines: excellence, personality, precision, territoriality.

In 1850, Count Augusto Giorgi di Vistarino was the first person to plant Pinot Noir in the Oltrepò, by importing the shoots directly from France and thus giving rise to the great sparkling wine tradition of the Oltrepò Pavese. From the first year of activity up to the current generation represented by Ottavia Giorgi di Vistarino, the vision remains the same: to better interpret the noble grape variety by pursuing the highest quality while respecting the territory and its vocation. The Giorgi di Vistarino Family, owner since the mid-15th century of a large agricultural estate in the municipality of Rocca de’ Giorgi in the Oltrepò Pavese, has helped to define over time the intimate link between viticulture and terroir within an oasis uncontaminated of great landscape and wildlife interest.
