"A benchmark Franciacorta estate where winemaking ambition is matched by bold artistic and design sensibility, from a full-size rhinoceros sculpture in the barrel room to a newly opened hospitality center that stages multisensory experiences. Highlights include a vintage tunnel linking historic cellars to a vinoteca, a quartet of changing sensory chambers, and a glowing “Prestige Immersion” room made from thousands of backlit bottles that evokes the magic of sparkling wine. Of course, tastings of signature cuvées — including the Cuvée Prestige and the top Annamaria Clemente — remain central to the visit, marrying visually arresting environments with serious sparkling-wine craftsmanship." - Federico De Cesare Viola
