The Franciacorta is the hilly territory situated in Lombard, consisting in 19 communities of the Brescian province. Surrounded on the east side by rocky hills of Moraine, on the west side by the river Oglio and on the north side by the lake Iseo, this area is very rich of minerals that are the fundamental basis of the high quality agriculture here. Together with the particular particle size structure and the favourable climate they create a perfect condition for cultivating vineyards.The wine produced on these hills has always been of fame from ancient times on. This is confirmed by citing classic latins Plinio il Vecchio, Columella, Virgilio, the treaties of the XVI century of Andrea Bacci and Agostino Gallo. Although it can be proud of a long history, the new type of wine cultivating in the Franciacorta starts only in the beginning of the sixties. On the territory various agricultural firms had been working since a long time producing good wines and commercialising them only on the local market. One of the reasons for the big success of the Franciacorta `formula’ is paradoxically, that it has no ancient tradition where it is obliged to report to. This has made it possible to reach the best results without having to worry about historic conditions of a tradition, which would only have delayed the growing process of this product. The choice of the DOC (Di Origine Controllata) for the Franciacorta shows even more the importance of having always as only reference and priority the name of its geographic origin. The rules by which the Franciacorta produces its wine are public, official and obey the national laws and those of the European Community. This way the consumer is protected and can be guaranteed a good product. The passport of the Franciacorta is its territory with all its natural aspects, as is obliged according to the norms of recognition of the Italian DOC products.
