Staff Pick Notes

We are all love Champagne! But sometimes we forget about real Gem from Lombardia, Italy – Franciacorta. Metodo classico Italian sparkling wine, that is a wine made using the classic Champagne-making method. Faccoli farm extends over 10 hectares (just 10 Hha!) on the sides of Mount Orfano, at the south-west of Franciacorta. Faccoli family came on here in 1963, Franciacorta was in its infancy and viticulture in progress at all. Today the company produces 50.000 bottles of Franciacorta a year in the types Rosé Brut, Extra Brut, Brut, Dosage Zero. Their flagship Brut is fresh, crisp and very powerful at the same time. Full of aromas of croissant, oranges and toast. Ideal for the breakfast!

More About This Wine

Lombardy

While aged Sfursat/Sforzato is highly enjoyable and quite sought-after, we find its youthful exuberance...

Pinot Noir

The Burgundy region of northeastern France is the historic home of the Pinot Noir grape, and is the source of the world’s greatest examples. Here one finds renditions of Pinot Noir that deliver power with finesse and grace, wines that have unimaginable depth of flavor, yet are perfectly balanced and ephemeral in the mouth - in short, wines that deliver all that Pinot Noir has to offer. Terroir, the concept that wines from a specific region have unique and identifiable traits, is intricately...

Chardonnay

From Champagne to Chablis, it's hard (not to mention unpleasant) to avoid this famous white variety. During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking world. It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...
