Tingly round tour: The Franciacorta wine route
Gentle hills, small villages, defiant castles, embedded in the lush green of centuries-old parks or vineyards planted more than 2000 years ago: the region of Franciacorta in Lombardy is one of the most beautiful and varied in Italy.
The best way to explore the area is on the 80 kilometre long wine route. From Sarnico on Lago d`Iseo via Paderno to the old Roman city of Brescia, the route runs through a fantastic landscape - past vineyards and wine growers, osterias and sparkling wine cellars, abbeys and noble villas.
