Official Red&White Wine
Villa Trasqua is a world without time. A temple where the classic becomes contemporary and the value of the future is the result of what has been learned from the past.
1000 years of viticulture situated in the most historic area of Chianti Classico which has determined the very shape of the earth, creating a wine microcosm capable of educating man himself to respect and value its fruits. 54 hectares of vineyards that give life to timeless wines, which exude with Tuscan spirit and express themselves in an elegant longevity. Villa Trasqua has harvested the labour of past generations and, in turn, is cultivating the future of those to come, the custodian of a wine heritage that goes back to the threshold of the year 1000.
Official Sparkling Wine
The Franciacorta Consortium was founded in 1990 with a view to ensuring that the Franciacorta wine production regulations are abided by and overseeing them. In 1993 it moved to its current site in Erbusco where it now has around 200 members including vine growers, winemakers and bottlers working in the Franciacorta DOCG, Curtefranca DOC and Sebino IGT appellation production chains.
Franciacorta is the first Italian wine to be produced exclusively by bottle fermentation to have obtained, in 1995, the Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin (DOCG). Today, the word Franciacorta identifies the area, the wine itself and the production method, which complies with strict and scrupulous rules intended to certify the absolute quality of this Italian excellence.
With over the 65% of the organic vineyards, Franciacorta is internationally one of the first denominations for the share of organic viticulture which increases constantly and contributes to protect the future of the territory.
The collaboration between Franciacorta and 1000 Miglia represents a natural bond both for the origin and the similarity of identity which makes both entities two solid brands with an important past but always projected towards the future.
