Winemaker Claudio Faccoli's roots are in Franciacorta and his family winery is located in the coveted heart of the region, Monte Orfano. His production is miniscule as yields are low and the property is small with a mere 5 ha of vines planted. This Brut is giving, a vinous sparkler that you can drink before your meal alongside hors d'oeuvres.
There is just something extra special about wine that sparkles. The day I realized sparkling wine wasn't just for New Year's and celebrations, my whole world changed for the better. Sparkling wine deserves a place in your week night routine, on Sunday afternoons, or just any time you feel like it. Get on board Now, I encourage you to give Franciacorta a try. Made in the traditional method with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Blanc, Italy's answer to Champagne hit the scene in the 1960's.

Here one finds renditions of Pinot Noir that deliver power with finesse and grace, wines that have unimaginable depth of flavor, yet are perfectly balanced and ephemeral in the mouth - in short, wines that deliver all that Pinot Noir has to offer. Terroir,...
From Champagne to Chablis, it's hard (not to mention unpleasant) to avoid this famous white variety. During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking...
