Lake Iseo with wine tasting Festival - Franchacorta!
Description:
Even the most active tourist will not resist the beauty and crystal clearness of mountain lakes. The Alps, freely spread on the territory of northern Italy, hide in their foothills real jewels for connoisseurs of natural beauty.
In the frame of Italian attractions, like a precious stone, where each of its faces opens this small corner of Italy from an unexpected side, along with large "stones" like Lake Garda, Maggiore, Como, another emerald shines - Lake Iseo (d'Iseo).
The winding silhouette of Iseo lurks comfortably on the “breasts” of the Lombardy Alps, neatly between the cities of Bergamo and Brescia, just an hour from Verona. A deep depression cut through the rock intricate sickle in times of mighty glaciers. The total area of the coastal strip was 65 kilometers of wonderful Italian nature. However, the careful embrace of the mountain range maintains a mild climate in the Iseo Valley throughout the year. On the shores of the lake picturesquely scattered small resort towns and villages.
Having left our autograph on the water surface, we will ride with you on a boat to the island, which received the title of the highest inhabited lake island in Europe!!! This island - Monte isola (Monte isola), resembling a dragon fang, sticking straight out of the cool lake waters 600 meters high. This island is considered the most beautiful Borgo in Italy! So why should we enjoy the views from the height of this island? There is no car traffic on the island.
You will enjoy the views of the island of Loretto, San Paolo, drowning in the greenery of tall cypresses and pines, where among the green foliages coquettishly hide the walls of a medieval villa.
After pampering your eyes with the natural richness of the region, continue to enjoy and pamper your taste buds as well, because you are near the edge where the wine of the Festival is produced! Any idea what this is about?
And don't call it champagne. It's Franciacorta!
With a light aroma of flowers, passing into the aromas of peach, apples, apricot, almonds, spices ... What a long and delicate game of bubbles! Although the word "champagne" is forever reserved for France, Italian sparkling wines still managed to get ahead. Italian fashion is also winning wine catwalks. Since 2009, Italy has become the world’s largest producer of sparkling wines, ahead of France. Together we will taste one of the local "House of Perignon" and visit the wine cellar, characterized by the best quality and impeccable taste, and by the number of awards received Tre Bicchieri (guide Gambero Rosso), it is called the winery of the future. Not to mention the architectural merits, and you will confirm:
" Only Italians can do that!
