standout second wave of Franciacorta producers

about started in 1999 by the Muratori cotton-producing family: Franciacorta is near Milan, the home of Italian fashion. 300,000 bottle (25,000 case) production. Since 2020, the winemaker is Ricardo Cotarella, who places emphasis on the quality of the wine added to the bottle before the second fermentation. Prevoious tastings were of good quality, if not overly exciting wines.
