Surrounded by abbeys and priories sits Brescia, Franciacorta, where winemaking traditions trace back to ancient Roman times. South of the Lago d’Isea and east of the Oglio river, Franciacorta is a visual feast of morainic hills that slope gently towards the southern plains. It’s unique positioning grants it a particularly mild climate. Here you’ll find Azienda Lo Sparviere, a wine estate owned by the Gussalli Beretta family that spans 60 hectares, of which 25 are planted to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
