Description This is a rich sparkling wine which is at the same time soft and dry. The Franciacorta wine growing industry lies just south of the Lake of Iseo, in the region of Lombardy. Because of this, there is no problem in harvesting the grapes.

This wine is not only recommended for meat but matches well with tasty fish recipes, well seasoned with herbs and spices.
