Capriolo

Capriolo, a Brescia municipality named after the Eurasian roe deer that historically roamed these pre-Alpine hills, is a vital corner of Lombardy’s premier sparkling wine country. Here, where gravelly glacial soils meet a mild lacustrine climate, local vintners craft prestigious Franciacorta DOCG and still Curtefranca DOC wines. Within this single territory, 18 protected denominations overlap, showcasing the area's agricultural biodiversity. The town hosts 4 verified producers, with 3 open for cellar visits, allowing travelers to taste these historic denominations directly from the source where wild nature meets refined viticulture.
