The Producer

Conti Ducco farms 52 hectares of vineyards across 16 crus within a 120-hectare property spanning three Franciacorta municipalities. Handpicked grapes rest overnight in refrigerated cells before gentle pressing, while separate stainless-steel vinification precedes cuvée assembly; selected crus also mature in French oak.

Wines

Listed wines include Franciacorta Blanc de Blancs DOCG, Caramel Dry DOCG, a 2017 Franciacorta Pas Dosé, and De Duchis Metodo Classico. The Blanc de Blancs is a 2020 vintage Franciacorta made entirely from Chardonnay.
