VILLA FRANCIACORTA

Villa Franciacorta, a small medieval hamlet dating back to the fifteenth century, is located
in Monticelli Brusati just short distance from Lake Iseo. Around every corner of
this precious area of Franciacorta you may catch glimpses of the past re-emerging in
the medieval hamlet of Villa: from the Roman road that skirts the river and runs through
the property, to the ancient well set beside the drive way and the perfectly preserved
underground cellars dating back to centuries past. Environmental protection and the
restoration of the ancient hamlet are examples of how an ardent philosophy of life such
as that of Villa Franciacorta can produce concrete results. The Bianchi family’s awareness
of its role as guardian of a unique terroir ensures that all the wines are produced
exclusively from grapes grown on its own 37 hectares of vineyards. The decision to sell
only vintage Franciacorta is a further testimony to the family’s sound business judgment.
