Franciacorta appears in 6 articles of hers, from 2023 to 2025.
In her words
Often overshadowed by Champagne, Franciacorta is Italy's answer to the French classic fizz, delivering elegance and complexity.
One standout was the Blanc de Blanc Franciacorta, a sparkling wine aged for an impressive 30-36 months using the traditional Champagne method.
Franciacorta is a high-quality Italian sparkling wine made in the same way as Champagne using the traditional method with similar grape varieties including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Blanc.
Although Franciacorta is a wine that will set you back a few pennies in the supermarket, it's so worth it!
You can expect to find Franciacorta priced around £20-£50 per bottle.
The Franciacorta region of Italy is small, covering an area of only around 20,000 acres, 10% of the size of Champagne, France, it really is tiny in comparison.
