Curtefranca wine resonates with the essence and spirit of Lombardy, a picturesque region in northern Italy. Nestled amidst rolling hills, tranquil lakes and bustling metropolises, Lombardy is renowned as much for its cultural heritage and architectural splendour as it is for its sumptuous wines.
Curtefranca wine is a quintessential representation of Lombardy's finest viticulture. Produced within the Franciacorta DOC in the province of Brescia, this prestigious wine citation was earlier known as 'Terre di Franciacorta' until a nomenclature change in 2008.
The cultivation conditions in this part of Lombardy afford the Curtefranca wines a unique character. The region's microclimate, marked by gentle breezes and the lake's regulating effect on temperature, combines with its geological features of glacial soils replete with minerals, lending the wine remarkable nuances of flavour and aroma.
Curtefranca is available in two varieties: Curtefranca Rosso (Red) and Curtefranca Bianco (White). The white is fashioned with Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco, while the red is a delicate blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Barbera. The precision in blending grants these wines their distinctive quality and taste.
Despite its lesser recognition compared to the effervescent Franciacorta, Curtefranca wine boasts of mature character, subtle complexity, and an expressive bouquet. Its high acidity complements its freshness, making it a delight to the senses. The white has an elegant palate of ripe apples and crisp pears, while the red displays a rich medley of dark berries, spice and traces of oak, reflecting an exquisite balance that leaves a lasting impression.
In essence, Curtefranca wine embodies the soul of Lombardy - its rich history, magnificent landscapes and fine craftsmanship. It is a symphony in a bottle, harmoniously painting a picture of the region’s fertile vineyards, ancient winemaking traditions, and the passion that guides it. Sipping this wine is more than a simple act of indulgence, it's about experiencing a slice of Lombardy, and essence of Italy.
