Franciacorta DOCG is Italy's most famous traditional method sparkling wine, located in the Lombardy wine region in northwest Italy. Strict regulations are closely associated with Champagne, which has established a strong reputation in just 50 years. More than 13 million bottles are produced annually, with one producer accounting for a quarter. 80% of Franciacorta is sold domestically in Italy, and only 20% is exported. Exports have increased recently, and the main markets are the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Nordic region. There are currently about 100 small wineries producing Franciacorta. Top wineries include Guido Berlucchi, Bellavista, Cádel Bosco and Contadi Castaldi.
The local climate is warm and the vineyards enjoy the breeze from Lake Iseo. Because of the warm climate, the grapes are grown relatively mature, with enough glucose and not too acidic. Therefore, the style of Franciacorta is somewhat different from that of Champagne. Most of them do not require much dosage, and are dry in the mouth, without a sweet feeling. The local Non Dosato style (i.e. approximately 0-3g sugar/L) is particularly popular. However, the sweetness of Franciacorta can theoretically range from Dosaggio Zero to Demi-Sec.

In terms of production, like champagne, wine must be made using traditional methods. Non-vintage is at least 18 months and yeast aging after secondary fermentation, Rose is 24 months, Millesimato is 30 months, and Riserva is up to 60 months. The minimum requirement is even longer than Champagne! As a result, Franciacorta has a pronounced yeast character (toasty, biscuit aromas), as well as a refreshing acidity, which makes it easy to drink. Another special trademark category was created by the winery Bellavista. The wine bottle is engraved with the word Saten and is aged for at least 24 months with yeast after secondary fermentation (actually Blanc de Blancs, which must be less than 5 degrees of air pressure).
