Produced in the renowned Franciacorta region of Lombardy, this wine is a striking example of Italian winemaking expertise in high-quality bubbles production.

The 375ml bottle is perfect for special occasions or an intimate dinner, offering the right amount to celebrate with elegance.

The balance between acidity and sugars is well managed, making this Franciacorta Brut extremely pleasant and refreshing.

Ideal for accompanying light appetizers, fish, or simply as an aperitif, this sparkling wine knows how to elevate every moment, turning occasions into celebrations.

Winery history

The Ricci Curbastro family has a long agricultural tradition rooted in Romagna and Franciacorta. The estate in Capriolo has developed over time with the construction of an underground cellar in the grounds of Villa Evelina and the creation of the Museo Agricolo e del Vino, opened in 1986 at the initiative of Gualberto Ricci Curbastro. Over the years the property has expanded its activities to include agritourism, direct sales and the production of Metodo Classico and still wines.

Production philosophy

The estate combines respect for tradition with contemporary agricultural practices, with a focus on sustainability: it is certified as "Azienda Sostenibile" under the Equalitas standard and promotes environmental management practices and the reduction of energy consumption.

Terroir and vineyards

Located within the Franciacorta appellation, the winery is in Capriolo. Fermentations and the ageing of the Franciacorta take place in underground facilities carved out of the villa’s historic park; the area is also linked to the production of Curtefranca and to the Sebino IGT.
