• Territory
  Below Lake Iseo, between the River Oglio and the city of Brescia and north of Mount Orfano is Franciacorta in whose interior the conformation of the morainic amphitheater formed at the time of the glaciations (in the Secondary and Tertiary geological eras) is clearly visible due to the effect of a large glacier that, coming from Val Camonica, divided into two branches immediately after the basin of the lake: a small one to the east and a much larger and more important one to the west.

  Relief map
  The 3D map of Franciacorta beautifully frames the territory below Lake Iseo, between the Oglio River and the city of Brescia, north of Monte Orfano.
  This 3D map of the Franciacorta wine territories tells us of very distinctive soils, rich in sand and silt, generally poor in clay, often of high permeability and considerable thickness.
  On the hills of Franciacorta, grapevines have been planted in very ancient times, and evidence of this is provided by the discovery of grape seeds from prehistoric times and the archaeological material found throughout the area.
  Although boasting a long history, the new course of viticulture in Franciacorta began in the early 1960s with the establishment of the first wineries thanks to the resourcefulness of several local entrepreneurs who invested and focused on vineyard cultivation.
  From there, growth was very rapid until it reached today's Franciacorta era, an Italian wine area of important national reference especially for sparkling wine production.
  In the magnificent 3-D map of Franciacorta you can see not only the extent of the area planted with vines but also the layout of the various towns and wine cellars.
