It is made in the heart of \u003cstrong\u003eFranciacorta\u003c\/strong\u003e, Lombardy, a region renowned for its elegant and well-balanced sparkling wines. This wine represents the philosophy of the \u003cstrong\u003e1701\u003c\/strong\u003e winery, the first certified organic and biodynamic producer in the area, which operates with respect for the natural cycles of the vineyard and the land.
