We are Cantina Muratori, a family deeply tied to the heart of Franciacorta, where for over twenty years we have expressed our passion through wines that embody the authentic values and identity of our land.
With the 2020 harvest, we took a decisive step, choosing to collaborate with the renowned winemaker Dr.
Riccardo Cotarella and his team of experts, to bring our production to new levels of excellence.

Our production philosophy is distinguished by a unique approach: we do not rely on the liqueur to define our Franciacorta, but we aim to enhance the base wine, the result of a rigorous selection of grapes.
Through this process, we want to enhance the authentic characteristics of our territory, offering a tasting experience that reflects our dedication to quality and tradition.

This Franciacorta Brut is born from the art of a skilful assembly of the company's most representative grapes, selected from the 54 hectares of vineyards distributed across the six Vocational Units of Franciacorta.
Each bunch is the result of careful care and selection, to give life to a cuvée that best expresses the essence of the territory.

Mainly Chardonnay grapes, this Franciacorta reflects the elegance and freshness characteristic of the region's leading grape variety.
Aged on the lees for a minimum of 18 months, this Franciacorta expresses remarkable complexity and structure, while maintaining freshness and drinkability.

Ideal as an aperitif, Franciacorta Brut Muratori pairs perfectly with raw fish, such as tartare and carpaccio, and dishes based on fresh or lightly grilled vegetables, enhancing the flavours without overpowering them.

Muratori is much more than a winery: it's a true story of passion and dedication rooted in Villa Crespia, in the heart of Franciacorta, a physical location that represents the beating heart of our company. Our adventure began over twenty years ago, when we decided to transform our family passion into a business firmly rooted in the Franciacorta terroir. We made a crucial decision between 1999 and 2002, carefully selecting where to plant our vineyards to best represent Franciacorta's diverse soil and climate. Our vineyards, located in various zones, extend up to an altitude of 350 meters above sea level, with exposures also facing north toward the picturesque Lake Iseo. This choice allows us to grow grapes with unique characteristics, reflecting the complexity of the Franciacorta landscape.
We have carefully selected the lands on which to plant our vineyards, representing all six of Franciacorta's vocational units: Fine Deposits, Glacial Fluvium, Distal Colluvi, Deep Morainic, Graded Colluvi, and Thin Morainic.

This diversification reflects our constant pursuit of variety and authenticity, which is a key element in our mission to produce excellent Franciacorta. Our winery is a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, with a keen eye for environmental sustainability. We manage our vineyards organically and are proudly self-sufficient in energy thanks to an innovative photovoltaic system that extends across the vineyards. Starting with the 2020 harvest, we are honored to be able to count on the consultancy of the renowned Dr. Riccardo Cotarella, a leading figure in the world of winemaking. Dr. Cotarella and his team of expert collaborators share our passion for Franciacorta and our love for its grapes, helping to elevate the quality of our wines to new levels of excellence.
