Welcoming and relaxing in the territory, versatile and elegant in the food and wine proposal.
Franciacorta is confirmed as a destination increasingly loved by the international public, especially the American one, as shown by the second place obtained by Franciacorta in the special ranking “Top 10 Wine Destinations” of the New York media company VinePair.
A success that would seem almost extraordinary if it were not for the fact that it is linked to an extraordinary concreteness for a land that has always drawn its strength from the “art of making”. In recent years, Franciacorta has also been able to improve its services and develop its tourist offer.
Two prerogatives in constant evolution that have brought remarkable results in terms of visitor flows and international visibility to the name of Franciacorta and its renowned wine, Franciacorta DOCG.
All of this is possible thanks to the tireless work of the local realities, which are constantly engaged in preserving, growing and improving the artistic, architectural and landscape attractions and culinary specialties unique in the world.
