Ricci Curbastro produces sparkling and still wines from Lombardia in Northern Italy. The winery's flagship Gualberto Franciacorta, a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Nero, has been rated by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. The Franciacorta Satèn Brut, made from Chardonnay alone, offers the creamy, fine-bubbled character typical of the region's traditional-method sparkling wines. Vigna Bosco Alto Curtefranca, also Chardonnay-based, rounds out the portfolio. Lombardia's cool continental climate and limestone-rich soils suit both the precision of still Chardonnay and the complexity required for age-worthy sparkling wine. The winery's focus on these varieties reflects the region's established strengths in producing mineral-driven whites with structure and finesse.
