Beretta (Lo Sparviere)
Franciacorta is a land of abbeys and priories with an ancient winemaking tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages. Located on the south side of Lake Iseo in the province of Brescia, Franciacorta has an exceptionally favorable mild climate, its rolling morainic hills descending gently to the city of Brescia itself. The area was settled in ancient times and one of these ancient country residences is that of the Beretta family. The estate sprawls over 150 hectares, of which 30 are planted with vines, mainly chardonnay and pinot nero. The 16th-century building that now houses the winery takes its name from the sparrowhawk, or sparviere, on the coat of arms over the fireplace. Under the ancient vaults of the cellars, Brut, Extra Brut, Satèn and Rosé versions of Franciacorta D.O.C.G. wines are vinified and aged, bringing their fragrance and bubbles to a peak of perfection over at least 25 months. Rigorously selected fruit, sourced exclusively from the estates own vineyards, where yields are kept very low, produce the characteristic sensory profile and elegantly poised balance that make Lo Sparvieres wines so distinctive.
