Elisabetta Abrami is among the pioneers of organic Franciacorta, both in her vineyards, located in the municipalities of Provaglio d’iseo, Passirano and Paderno Franciacorta, and in the winery. Alongside sustainability, her production philosophy puts the raw agricultural material at its own core, a value developed since childhood, observing her father working in his deli-shop. It comes natural understanding that the mantra of Elisabetta and her son Giuseppe, with whom she runs the winery, is “the taste before the bubble”: a strong connection with the grape varierty, particularly Pinot Nero. The winery also produces organic extra-virgin olive oil and, thanks to the encounter with the Urzì family, manages Sciare dell’alba, vineyards and winery on Etna.

 Our winery is located on a 1400s farmhouse surrounded by nature in Adro, in the heart of the Franciacorta hills and a few steps from the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Neve .

It was the will of the founder, Marcello Monzio Compagnoni , to purchase the old Loneto farmhouse in 1995, then enlarged on the basis of his architectural studies, with the aim of obtaining the best conditions for the conservation of Franciacorta . An act which, over time and thanks to a modern and pragmatic interpretation of this profession, has allowed the name Monzio Compagnoni to carve out a leading role in the world of Italian bubbles.

Around the cellar, in 10 hectares of land, we take care of our vineyards of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Bianco grapes, processed for the production of Franciacorta. Another 37 hectares are located in the municipalities of Adro, Cologne, Cazzago San Martino and Cortefranca.

The Franciacorta Consortium is the body which guarantees and monitors Franciacorta production standards, as the first Italian wine produced exclusively with the bottle refermentation process to have obtained the Protected and Guaranteed Designation of Origin (DOCG) denomination in 1995. The Consortium’s work takes various forms, ranging from safeguarding its brand and region, promoting its products via ongoing work on its production regulations and denominations, consumer information campaigns and promoting Franciacorta as an expression of an area, a wine and a production method. Founded on 5 March 1990 its head offices are in Erbusco, in the heart of Franciacorta. The Consortium is presided over by Emanuele Rabotti and has over 120 associates.

Notre domaine est plus ancien que la Franciacorta. Notre histoire de vignerons remonte à la nuit des temps. À la fin du XVe siècle, notre famille vivait à Paratico, dans un ancien château perché sur une colline. Lorsque la République de Venise conquit la région de Brescia – dans notre histoire, il s'agissait d'un château stratégiquement situé pour contrôler le commerce et les environs –, ils furent contraints de s'installer à Capriolo, où ils commencèrent à produire du vin.

La cave du XVIe siècle, alors utilisée pour la production d'un vin rouge, le Rubino di Cortefranca, fait toujours partie de notre domaine et sert aujourd'hui à conserver nos vins de Franciacorta pendant leur élevage sur lies.

La tradition que j'ai ravivée pendant la Première Guerre mondiale s'est perpétuée avec la naissance de la Franciacorta.

Notre premier millésime en tant que producteur de Franciacorta remonte à 1974, avec un dosage zéro. Nous étions d'ailleurs le premier domaine de Franciacorta à produire un vin sans dosage. Depuis nos débuts, nous nous sommes toujours attachés à créer des vins agréables et ronds, tout en restant secs, qui expriment au mieux l'intégrité des matières premières et les caractéristiques acquises après un long élevage sur lies. Avec les vendanges 2007, nous avons lancé notre Riserva Origines, un Pas Dosé élevé sur lies pendant plus de 60 mois. Nous commercialisons actuellement le millésime 2018.

Mirabella traces its origin back to an encounter in 1979 between Teresio Schiavi, a winemaker originally from Pavia, and Franciacorta-area engineer Giacomo Cavalli. Lying in Rodengo Saiano, in the easternmost part of Franciacorta, protected by the nearby Parco delle Colline nature preserve, Mirabella is named after the first estate vineyard, planted in 1981 and still in production. The winery is situated in an ex-wine cooperative complex dating back to 1942, with underground ageing cellars and concrete vats that constitute a true monument to the art of wine. Teresio Schiavi directed Mirabella over the decades in a pioneering spirit and with respectful attention to the winemaking process and to the environment, ably assisted by Francesco Bracchi and his sons Alessandro and Alberto. Motivated by his vision for the future destiny of the growing area, he was one of the original founders of the Consorzio Franciacorta, and he brought to the winery sustainable viticulture of its 45 hectares of vineyards. His innovative spirit so permeated the entire winery production team that Mirabella was able to produce the very first Franciacorta with no added sulphites and the growing area’s first monovarietal Pinot Blanc.

Ricci Curbastro is one of the historic and family owned and managed cellar of Franciacorta. Gualberto Ricci Curbastro was among the 11 founding members of the modern denomination in 1967, even if the oldest company labels date back to 1885. 

The history and tradition of the family and the territory are testified by the Wine and Agriculture Museum, a unique reality in Franciacorta. 

34 hectares of vineyards, exclusively owned and managed, and a production of 200,000 bottles/year of Franciacorta DOCG, but also of Curtefranca DOC and Sebino IGT still wines, consistently at the top of the critics' list.

Since 2017 our company is certified as SUSTAINABLE WINERY according to the Equalitas standard for its environmental, economic and social sustainability.

The Ricci Curbastro family owns the Rontana estate in Brisighella in Emilia Romagna, a small project in one of the most hidden gems of Italy, where it produces the Sangiovese di Romagna Brisighella DOC, a Sauvignon Blanc and a sparkling apple cider using the classic method.

Tenuta Martinelli winery located at the foot of Monte Orfano, is developed with owned vineyards among the towns of Cologne, Provaglio d’Iseo, Passirano and Cazzago.

This diversification between terraced colluvia soils and the majestic Franciacorta morainic amphitheater gives our grapes a unique complexity.

Uniqueness which can be also found in the magnificent setting of Monte Orfano, where the winery is located. This area preserves an ancient history and is characterized by geological peculiarities, which have created a strong link between territory and population.

Wines linked to tradition, family, but always looking to the future.

Turra winery rises up at the foot of Monte Orfano, in the municipality of Cologne, Italy. Located in the heart of Franciacorta territory, the winery is a small but ever-growing company. Thanks to the passion and commitment with which Roberto Turra, owner and founder, tackles all those daily tasks essential to transform his grapes into excellent wines - one of the finest product which made Franciacorta stand out worldwide. All the enological choices, from grafting and pruning up to harvesting and bottle design, are aimed to highlight the territory and all those special scents and aromas of Monte Orfano’s subsoil that a glass of Turra Franciacorta wine can give off.

Our Franciacorta wines are born as an authentic expression of the identity of our land its

soils and biodiversity, which have protected our vineyards for generations.

Each bottle tells the story of the harmony between environmental awareness and the

constant artisanal care that guides human work in the vineyard and the cellar.

From our family’s history and legacy comes a continuous stylistic evolution, combined with

the sensitivity of those who live the land every day with dedication.

Each day, we renew our choice to be guardians of an authentic heritage mindful

winegrowers in Erbusco.

The Vigneti Cenci winery is located in Cologne, in Franciacorta, and stretches to the foot of Monte Orfano.

Monte Orfano is a seabed emerged hill on the southern edge of the Franciacorta region, with wonderful southern exposure. The land is rocky with mineral undersoil, which makes for flavoursome, persistent wines. The region’s unique microclimate and dry, well-ventilated and sunny conditions make it the ideal habitat for Pinot Bianco, which is the jewel in our winery’s crown.

The La Boscaiola – Vigneti Cenci agricultural company was dreamt up by Nelson Cenci, a doctor, writer and former Alpine trooper who, after the Second World War, was reunited back in Cologne, Franciacorta, with the comrades with whom he had managed to survive the frozen hell and horror of the Russian campaign. It was thanks to the help of these men that – in the 1940s, Cenci was able to refurbish the mid-19th-century farmhouse and vineyards where he would go on to express his passion for viticulture and oenology.

In the 1960s, La Boscaiola resumed wine production, something that had been stopped for 20 years due to war and abandonment. Today, Giuliana and Maurizio, the daughter and grandson of Nelson, are continuing his work. Drawing on everything their grandfather taught them, they strive for the highest quality and lowest levels of sulphites possible.

Franciacorta Vigneti Cenci has always been synonymous with an unerring focus on product quality. Cutting-edge wine-making techniques and decades of experience enable us to produce sparkling wines with extremely low levels of sulphites, something that brings out the typical perfumes, aromas and fragrances of this area.

Our philosophy is to achieve a pure, elegant Franciacorta, using low "dosage" that ensure we do not overawe the wine. A Franciacorta that encapsulates our family story and the land in which it is based. Pure, elegant and refined: that is the essence of our Franciacorta.
