• Uncover the land behind one of Italy’s finest sparkling wines with the 3D Relief Map of Franciacorta — a visually striking and educational piece that reveals the ancient geological and viticultural richness of this exceptional territory.

  Nestled south of Lake Iseo, between the Oglio River and the city of Brescia, and north of Monte Orfano, lies Franciacorta—a wine region shaped by time and glaciation. This map clearly showcases the distinct morainic amphitheater, formed by massive glaciers descending from Val Camonica during the Second and Tertiary geological eras. These ancient forces gave rise to uniquely sandy and silty soils, low in clay, highly permeable, and ideal for vine cultivation.

  While vine growing here dates back to prehistoric times—as evidenced by grape seed and archaeological discoveries—the modern era of Franciacorta winemaking began in the 1960s, when visionary local entrepreneurs founded the first sparkling wine houses. From there, Franciacorta rapidly evolved into one of Italy’s premier sparkling wine regions, known globally for its refined Metodo Classico.
