Le Marchesine - Franciacorta

Winery in Franciacorta

About the Winery

In Passirano, in the heart of Franciacorta, Le Marchesine was founded in 1985 by Giovanni Biatta, who purchased the first three hectares of vineyards to give shape to a legacy built on passion and vision.

But the Biatta family’s connection to the world of wine goes back much further: for over five generations, winemaking excellence has been a family craft. It all began with Camillo Biatta, already a négociant-éleveur, followed by his son Vittorio, and then Giovanni, who turned tradition into enterprise.

Today, the winery is led by Loris Biatta, enthusiastically joined by his son and daughter, Andrea and Alice, a new generation ready to preserve the knowledge of the past and carry it into the future.

From a small estate of three hectares to more than 47 hectares of vineyards in the heart of Franciacorta: today, Le Marchesine is one of the most dynamic and recognized wineries in the region, with an annual production nearing 450,000 bottles.

About the Wines

Elegance, identity, and character: Le Marchesine’s Franciacorta wines reflect our winemaking philosophy through three distinctive lines.

The Classics, such as Brut Nitens and Dosaggio Zero Audens, are versatile and straightforward, perfect for any occasion and ideal for discovering our style.

The Millesimati, Artio Rosé, Brigantia Satèn, Esus Blanc de Blancs, and Nodens Blanc de Noir celebrate the finest vintages and their grape varieties, offering refined and harmonious interpretations.

At the pinnacle of our production is the Secolo Novo line, the highest expression of our savoir-faire: vintage Franciacorta wines, crafted only in exceptional years, with extended lees aging and a deep, distinctive character. A sensory journey into the true heart of Franciacorta.

Positive experience
The winery has recently been renovated and is impeccably maintained. The guide was very thorough and engaging in the explanation. Also satisfied with the tasting: wines of absolute quality accompanied by a careful description by the guide.

Intimate and passionate
The group was small, less than 10 people, which allowed us to delve deeper into the topics. The person who guided us did not follow a standard program but adapted it to the prior knowledge of the audience. Knowledgeable and polite. The winery has no features that make it stand out, but it is very nice. Excellent tasting. Very polite staff.
I recommend replacing the plastic forks with aluminum ones and the paper placemats with the BIC pen with something more elegant, suited to the environment; a small pencil would suffice.

A more than wonderful Experience
An entertaining and very informative tour by Ricardo an excellent host. The tasting revealed truly refined wines.
The architecture of the building where the tour started and the tasting takes place is impressive.
Bonus: they also produce a Great grappa!
Try the grappa too

Face to face with the nectar of the Gods...
A unique experience, thanks also to the fact that we had the fortunate opportunity to do the tour with just me and my husband.
This certainly encouraged interaction with our young (and very well-prepared) "Cicerone", to whom we asked quite a few questions, which were promptly answered...
Fascinating to find ourselves in the cellar surrounded by... Millions of bottles...
The tasting ritual was well prepared, and we truly savored it, in every aspect.
We are sure to return, because an experience of this kind is worthy of being relived.
Congratulations!

Pleasantly surprised
Two young guys with lots and lots of enthusiasm for their work. How lovely! Hooray for young people with the drive to do things, of whom unfortunately there are fewer and fewer.

Fantastic
I gave this as a Valentine's Day gift to my fiancé and it was literally fantastic. The guy was excellent with the explanation and, above all, we tasted some fantastic wines, truly good. I'm really happy, it was a fantastic experience!
None, because everything was literally perfect.

A beautiful experience
It was a beautiful experience.
The facility is very large and really well-kept.
Our guide (very young and very knowledgeable) recounted in detail the entire history and production process of the winery.
A truly interesting experience, and the Franciacorta is truly unbeatable!
