Cantina Franchetto
Borgoletto Lessini Durello DOC 'Cantina Franchetto'
The Durella vineyards are located in Vestenanova. We're around 600 meters above sea level. Borgoletto is Franchetto's interpretation of Durella sparkling wine, made according to the Martinotti method in an autoclave. What do we love about this wine? Drinking a sip is like eating a bunch of freshly picked Durella, an explosion of citrus, freshness, and... happiness.

It has a silky, clean, and not at all harsh perlage. The full body positively embodies the structural acidity typical of the Durella grape. The freshness and savory character are unrelenting on the palate, complemented by a beautiful alcoholic and aromatic structure. The aftertaste lingers, revealing notes of citrus and sweet almond.

Lessini Durello is a versatile wine, perfect for aperitifs and desserts. Borgoletto is particularly suited to an aperitif with sopressa, Monte Veronese mezzano cheese, and pan biscotto. It pairs beautifully with delicious finger foods, including fish.
Producer:
The Franchetto family has lived and cultivated the land since 1800 in Terrossa, a small village in the wild hills rich in biodiversity of the Val d'Alpone – at the foot of the Lessini Mountains. However, the story of 'Cantina Franchetto' begins later, in 1982, when Antonio Franchetto, at the age of 20 and already aware of the great potential of his territory, decides to have his say by starting to press his grapes and make his own wine. Today Giulia Franchetto, together with her mother and father, carries on the family history by running the company and always working in Terrossa, where it all began.
