ca’ de pazzi
The Land
Franciacorta is a sparkling wine from the Province of Brescia (Lombardy) with DOCG status produced from grapes grown within the boundaries of the territory of Franciacorta (literally “short France”), on the hills located between the southern shore of Lake Iseo and the city of Brescia.
The name Franciacorta, attested in 1277, is thought to derive from curtes francae, the fortified courts of the Frankish empire established in the 8th century.
The wines were not called Franciacorta until 1957, when Guido Berlucchi released a white wine named Pinot di Franciacorta.. An ambitious young winemaker working for Berlucchi, Franco Ziliani, was permitted to pursue an ambition of producing a fine sparkling wine, and in 1961 was allowed to produce for release 3,000 bottles of a sparkling wine, also sold under the name Pinot di Franciacorta
