Iseo

Iseo, a Brescia province municipality of nearly 9,000 residents, anchors the northern frontier of Italy’s premier sparkling wine country. The unique microclimate here, shaped by the basin's thermal currents, nurtures vines for the prestigious Franciacorta DOCG and the still wines of Curtefranca DOC. The glacial soils of this Lombardy lakeside enclave foster exceptional mineral complexity in the grapes. Today, 4 verified producers craft these elegant, traditional-method wines within the municipal bounds, with 2 opening their cellars to travelers seeking to taste the region's classic, structured terroir at its very source.
