About the Region

Lombardy hosts two of Italy's most compelling and contrasting wine zones. Franciacorta, on the morainic soils south of Lake Iseo, produces Italy's most serious traditional-method sparkling wines — certified organic estates here rival Champagne for quality and consistency. Valtellina, carved into the steep alpine slopes of the Rhaetian Alps, produces Chiavennasca (Nebbiolo) at altitude, where granite soils and cool mountain air shape wines of remarkable freshness and structural restraint. Terra Trionfo sources from both zones, bringing complementary styles — sparkling and still, Franciacorta and alpine — within a single regional story.

Varied — moraine and lake-moderated soils in Franciacorta; steep granite alpine slopes and dramatic altitude in Valtellina.
