The Label The broken label, characteristic of all our wines, symbolizes the past and the present, the tradition with technologies or better, the technology as an implement to bring back tradition; Franciacorta is a land which invites to live again the history of its sons, the culture which links the man to the land he was born and grown up in, marking out the path of the one who, rich in sensibility, wants to commit the uses and costumes of his ancestors leaving them, at the same time, sons of their era... This is the choice of Franca Contea, its labels and its logo, a Camuno graffiti which symbolizes the earth, the plough and the sun. This is because wine, for Franca Contea, is born from the sun and the earth and last but not least from man’s work. Adopting this symbols in one logo only means a way to give continuity to the gifted people from Lombardia. Symbols linked to the tradition to start a tradition.
