Franciacorta DOCG - Terre Di Franciacorta

Terre Di Franciacorta

With the creation of the DOCG Franciacorta, the former DOC was renamed Terre di Franciacorta for the still wines. These are made in two types: a Burgundy-style Bianco based either on Chardonnay or Pinot bianco or a blend of both, and a Bordeaux-style Rosso based on either Cabernet Franc or Cabernet Sauvignon or both, and Merlot, with smaller amounts of Nebbiolo and Barbera. Pinot noir is permitted only in the DOCG sparkling wines, with no option of a Burgundian-style still red wine under the DOC rules.
