Le Marchesine Franciacorta
“Le Marchesine” is a small and innovative Franciacorta wine estate that is one of the most prestigious companies in its league in the lucky Lombard area.
The excellent wine producing job is something the Biatta family passes on from one generation to the next. Giovanni Biatta, the forefather of “Le Marchesine”, acquired in 1985 the first three hectares in the Franciacorta area. For at least five generations, the family has nurtured its one and only true passion: wine excellence. The Biatta family has very ancient origins from Brescia, its documented existence dates back to 1196, when Giovanni’s great-grandfather, Camillo Biatta, was négociant éleveur, an old noble profession passed from father to son., up to Giovanni.
Under the expert guidance of his father Giovanni, Loris Biatta with his children Alice and Andrea, take care of the vineyard and the cellar. From its initial three hectares, the company vineyard has extended reaching 47 hectares, registered in the Doc and Docg lists.
In all likelihood things, as well as people, have a written destiny; or at least this is what one believes when looking back at the history of this Villa. It owes its present aristocratic appearance to two restructuring procedures, each carried out a century apart.
Elegance, exclusivity, and pleasure: all of the decisions relative to the Antica Fratta project are inspired by these key themes. Beginning with its wines, of course, but much more than this. Details are what make a difference, and the Antica Fratta approach puts it in a league of its own. Near-obsessive attention is focussed on packaging and image, which is decidedly unusual in the world of wine. A production that is just as painstakingly monitored as it is limited, entrusted to carefully-selected partners: this is our conception of exclusivity. We are restoring man and his professionalism to the centre of the universe, fashioning an intimate bond and close collaboration between those who produce and those who sell Antica Fratta, ensuring that this project remains a cohesive, shared initiative.
