Franciacorta "Italian Champagne" Versus French Champagne Battle with Paired Foods 4:00-5:30 PM

Love Champagne? Join us for a special Champagne/Franciacorta DOUBLE BLIND tasting with Russ Lorber, Wide Roots Owner and Importer of the Franciacorta wines and Owner Bobbi Parlett, and with food pairings prepared by Chef Dawn.

In the wake of the first Protected Designation of Origin appellation in 1967, in 1995 Franciacorta became the first Italian wine made with a second fermentation in the bottle to achieve Protected and Guaranteed Designation of Origin (DOCG) status. The name on today’s labels is Franciacorta, a single word which conjures up geography, production method and wine. 97% of Berlucchi's production is sold in Italy. Any major celebration in Italy has a bottle of Berlucchi's Franciacorta at the table. To read more about the history of the Franciacorta name and wine, click here:
