About this experience
Experience the authentic essence of Franciacorta with an exclusive journey through a winery where nature and tradition meet. Just steps from Lake Iseo, you will start with an immersive walk in the "vineyard-collection" to discover the biodiversity and the unique lake-breeze microclimate that makes this terroir world-famous.
The heart of the tour takes you inside a charming 1940s cellar. Among fermentation tanks and long underground corridors, you will witness the meticulous Traditional Method—a process of patience and precision, from gentle pressing to long bottle aging.
The highlight is a curated sensory tasting: explore three premium labels, each revealing a different side of the winery’s identity. To complete the experience, the wines are served with local delicacies like Grana Padano DOP and artisanal snacks. An intimate escape designed for those seeking quality and a deep connection with the land.
