Cellar Franca contea is situated in Adro, in the heart of Franciacorta. Its vineyards, mainly Chardonnay grapes in various clonal selections and Pinot noir, extend over an area of about 15 hectares. The Cavalleri Family aims at the excellence of the product through the most natural methods, starting from the soil and gathering, with hard work, the fruits that it can give. The winemaking art of Franca Contea starts from the vineyard and proceeds in the cellar, where the grapes are pressed through an innovative vacuum press, that operates in an inert environment and in a -0.7 bar depression. The broken label, symbolizes the past and the present, the tradition with technologies or better, the technology as an implement to bring back tradition. Its logo, a prehistoric rock engraving in Valcamonica, symbolizes the earth, the plough and the sun. This is because wine, for Franca contea, is born from the sun and the earth and last but not least from men’s work.
