The elegance of Franciacorta in an authentic Classic Method sparkling wine

Franciacorta DOCG Brut from Le Quattro Terre represents one of the most classic and recognizable expressions of the Franciacorta appellation: a Classic Method sparkling wine that combines elegance, freshness, and depth.

Made from a careful selection of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, two of the signature grape varieties of Franciacorta, it comes from the morainic hills of the territory. Secondary fermentation in the bottle and extended aging on the lees allow the wine to develop a fine, persistent perlage, complex aromas, and remarkable harmony on the palate.

Balanced and refined, this is a Franciacorta for those looking for an Italian sparkling wine with personality—equally at home as an aperitif or accompanying an entire gastronomic experience.

The winemaker’s notes

"Franciacorta Brut is one of the most complete expressions of Italian Classic Method sparkling wine. I like it because it finds the perfect balance between freshness and complexity: the crispness of the fruit, delicate notes of yeast, and great elegance on the palate. It is a sparkling wine that never becomes tiring."

Why we chose it

We chose Franciacorta Brut from Le Quattro Terre because it perfectly represents our idea of sparkling wine: territorial, elegant, and gastronomic.

It tells the story of Franciacorta without excess, focusing instead on balance, freshness, and precision. A versatile wine that is ideal for celebrating a special occasion, yet natural enough to accompany an everyday meal.

The territory

Franciacorta is one of Italy’s most renowned areas for the production of Classic Method sparkling wines.

Its morainic hills in the province of Brescia were shaped by ancient glaciers and are characterized by soils rich in minerals, creating favorable conditions for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Day-night temperature variations help the grapes retain aromatic freshness and acidity, essential qualities for the production of elegant and age-worthy sparkling wines.

The winery

Le Quattro Terre was established in Corte Franca, in the heart of Franciacorta, with a production philosophy entirely focused on Classic Method sparkling wines.

The name refers to the four vineyards surrounding the historic farmhouse that houses the winery, symbolizing the close relationship between wine, place, and tradition.

The winery’s approach focuses on the elegance of Chardonnay and on the ability of Franciacorta to produce refined sparkling wines with both freshness and aging potential.
