Franciacorta is a region deeply rooted in a millennia-old history, known for its grape cultivation that dates back to prehistoric times. Archaeological finds of grape seeds and remnants of stilt houses in the Torbiere del Sebino reveal the presence of ancient populations who settled in this land, followed by the Cenomani Gauls, the Romans, and the Lombards. The winemaking tradition has strengthened over the centuries, with the Romans already valuing the local wines, as noted by classical authors such as Pliny, Virgil, and Columella.
Today, Franciacorta is renowned for its high-quality wines, produced on lands that were already designated for viticulture in the 1600s. The Franciacorta Consortium, established in 1961, has played a significant role in bringing the region to international prominence by producing one of Italy's most prestigious sparkling wines. The Franciacorta Wine Route, created in 2000, offers a unique opportunity to explore the area through gastronomic itineraries that allow visitors to discover not only the wines but also the landscape, history, and culture of the region.
For those looking to explore the area in a different way, five cycling routes provide the chance to traverse the hills, amidst vineyards, historic villages, and breathtaking views. Outdoor enthusiasts can also take advantage of the nearby Lake Iseo, a place of extraordinary beauty where boating excursions are possible, as well as visits to Montisola, the largest lake island in Italy, or simply enjoying the tranquility of its landscapes.
Golf lovers will find numerous prestigious clubs in the province of Brescia, including the Franciacorta Golf Club, which offers exclusive packages for visitors. For those seeking a cultural experience, the proximity to historic cities such as Brescia, Bergamo, Verona, and Mantova allows for exploration of some of Italy's most captivating sites, from Roman monuments to renowned museums and theaters.
Thus, Franciacorta is a land rich in history, culture, and nature, making it an ideal place for those seeking a balance between tradition, relaxation, and discovery.
