Franciacorta

Franciacorta is the land of hills and vineyards between Lake Iseo and Brescia. It is home to Franciacorta DOCG, the traditional-method sparkling wine that made the area famous, among wineries, villages, abbeys and villas.

What to see

• The wineries: many open for visits and tastings by appointment.
• The Olivetan Abbey of Rodengo Saiano: the great monastic complex among the vineyards.
• San Pietro in Lamosa monastery: overlooking the Torbiere del Sebino, in Provaglio d’Iseo.
• The villages: Erbusco, Adro, Capriolo and Corte Franca, among villas and countryside.

Good to know
