Entry standards: producers and UK brokers have been invited to submit their non-vintage, white Franciacorta wines, in any model, although not together with Franciacorta Satèn.
This tasting represented a major cross-section of the 122 producers affiliated with the Franciacorta consorzio in northern Italy’s Lombardy area. Greater than a 3rd of the wines tasted have been awarded the equal of gold or silver medals, with two scoring 95-points (see suggestions).
The common throughout all wines tasted topped 89-points, demonstrating the consistency of this comparatively younger DOCG.
Though it has been a wine-producing area for a few years, the world round lake Iseo was traditionally dominated by crimson wines. The primary traditional-method glowing wine was produced in 1961 and it was recognised as a DOC in 1967, adopted by elevation to DOCG in 1995.
Franciacorta was the primary Italian glowing wine to achieve DOCG standing, but the regional consorzio was solely created in 1990.
