历史
Watch the timeline or read our story Franciacorta这个名字在许久以前就有了，但是名字的来源是个谜，至今仍激发着我们无数的遐想。 最可信的一个假设是，它来自于免税交易区（Francae Curtes）或自由之地（Free Courts），据信，在十一世纪伴随克卢尼僧侣的到来，他们在拉莫萨圣彼特罗（San Pietro）建造的一座修道院（一座至今仍屹立的建筑），这片区域被宣布免除税赋。 这个名叫“Franzacurta”的地方第一次出现在1277年的布雷西亚的城镇县志中，县志中具体指出这个区域的地理位置是从西面的奥格里尔（Oglio）河到东边拉艾提安（Rhaetian）山（阿尔卑斯山的一段）低矮的山脚，这座山脉隔断了卡莫妮卡（Camonica）山谷和特伦比亚（Trompia）山谷。在北面接壤伊赛奥（Iseo）湖，而南面则至奥法诺（Orfano）山。 自16世纪以来，馥奇达已经开始酿造起泡酒，而酿造静止葡萄酒的历史还要早，很长一段时间以来只提供给当地居民消费。 当时的葡萄栽培技术和市场有关的各种原因使馥奇达的发展受阻。1950年代后期酿酒师们重新燃起对馥奇达的兴趣，那时，突然间，人们对该地区酿造适合于起泡酒的基酒的潜力重新有了信心。 1967年，因为一群少数生产商受到意大利有关原产地名称的新法律的积极影响，在一直坚持不懈的努力下馥奇达产区被授予了官方认可。 Pinot di Franciacorta DOC由白皮诺酿造，可以包括灰皮诺和黑皮诺，并在瓶中或容器中自然发酵。 70年代初为意大利葡萄酒的复兴奠定了基础，馥奇达扎实的基础已经开始酿造优质起泡酒。企业家和企业高管陆续在馥奇达购置土地来种植葡萄园为他们自己和朋友们的酿造优质葡萄酒。但是，这种的行为显然不能满足当地的伦巴第人，这些葡萄园很快就变成了“酿酒实验室”。不久组成了第一个由十二个生产商加入的组织。容器中的二次发酵当时依然可以使用，但是即使如此，大多数生产商还是选择更具挑战性的瓶中二次发酵。 80年代馥奇达涌入一大批企业家，他们来寻找新的或改造的葡萄园，他们具有可贵的精神和实际的行动，以及成功的决心，即使他们不是来自酿酒世家。他们积极邀请葡萄酒专家来提高葡萄酒的质量。 那时霞多丽与白皮诺两个葡萄品种也被明确区分开来，霞多丽在馥奇达完美绽放光芒。 到1983年，最初的50公顷葡萄园也扩大到550公顷，Pinot di Franciacorta的销售量突破了100万瓶，而当时的酒庄数量也翻了一番。 1990年代始于自愿联盟的成立也标志着馥奇达和馥奇达 DOCG新时代的开始。 TIMELINE
