What is a francicotta? This is another sparkling wine, but it's from Italy. And this is the king of sparkling from Italy, not Prosecco. Because this is made in the same way as champagne is made in the traditional method, plus it's made with the same three grape varieties, which is Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier. And it just comes from this really small region, which is Central Italy, North Central really, by the lakes of Lake Garda and Lake Como. Stunning, expensive, but worth it.
