From the evening with music dedicated to the Arcadia Millesimato 2020 to lunches to discover the wines and foods of Franciacorta.
The Franciacorta Festival in the Cellar is back again this year, an unmissable end-of-summer weekend for wine lovers and wine tourists in the places where the prized Franciacorta is born. A seductive opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere of these enchanting hills that embrace Lake Iseo to the south, where a unique wine is born among monasteries, castles, historic homes and ancient villages surrounded by vineyards. The appointment is from 13 to 15 September and for the occasion Corte Lantieri di Capriolo – refined Wine Resort in the historic family estate of the same name nestled among the rows, ideal for stays dedicated to relaxation, haute cuisine and excellent wines – has created a series of special initiatives to welcome visitors with the most authentic and sophisticated hospitality.
We will start on Friday 13th with the Evening in flame , a 3-course dinner paired with wines from Cantina Lantieri entertained by Daniele Fiamma, a well-known comedian and host who will entertain guests with his unique verve. On Saturday 14 September the Arcadia Evening will be dedicated to the company’s most representative label, the Millesimato which has been given the name of that mythical land of dreams and idylls, made up of sylvan landscapes and harmony. The event, elegant and glam, will lead participants along the common thread of a refined dinner on the panoramic terrace overlooking the vineyards with the background of live music, during which they will be able to savor the harmony of Arcadia Millesimato 2020, an Extra Bold, deep and mineral Brut. Both Saturday and Sunday, for lunch , here is an intriguing food and wine journey to discover Franciacorta , that is, a refined 4-course menu developed ad hoc by the chefs of Corte Lantieri, combining authenticity, tradition and creativity, in a heartfelt homage to the territory served in the bright halls of the estate’s restaurant. To seduce the palate will be crunchy vegetable strudel, Culatello with fried gnocco and house giardiniera, beetroot risotto creamed with two milk robiola, pork fillet in bacon on pea cream, small spoon-fed and crunchy Corte pastries. To enhance everything, the bouquet of three different Franciacorta DOCG Lantieri: Satèn, Extra Brut, Cuvèe Brut in harmonious combination with the dishes. A real palate experience. Also on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th (at 10.30 am) guided visits to the cellars will be organized with a story of the territory and the wine production method, followed by tasting of two Franciacorta Lantieri DOCG (Blanc de Blanc Gemmae Bio and Extra Brut) accompanied by appetizers . In the oldest part of the complex, which dates back to the eighteenth century, the bottles rest on high stacks in the dim light, while in the modern part the various phases of winemaking take place according to the most advanced technologies. During the visit you will discover how the fine Franciacorta wines are made , produced from grapes harvested manually in the 22 hectares of organically cultivated vineyards , which mostly extend around the cellar.
