Franciacorta’s most fashionable winery with an astonishing Sparkling ROSE’ in Wine Spectator TOP 100 (the FIRST one!)

Live one day as private guest of the Schiavi family of three oenologists in this “sparkling rosè lovers” winery, and enjoy a really special “Grand Lunch” .

Private guided tour of the Mirabella cellars with a member of the Schiavi family.

We are pleased to take guests on a walk in one of the most modern and fashionable wineries in Franciacorta.

A dive into winemaking of awarded sparkling wines, and to the historic cellar full of private family collection bottles.

Then a spectacular vertical tasting of old vintages and a “Rosè experience”.

The moment a wine is tasted can be compared to the first meeting with a person we do not yet know.

Your senses will be activated in order to appreciate its character, explore its personality.

Then your grand wine pairing lunch: 2 different menus, meat or lake fish, 8 courses all based on local recipes with 8 pairing wines (some from Mirabella archive cellar): exclusive use of a room or veranda, final tasting of Mirabella’s delicious Spirits.

Teresio Schiavi, founder of Mirabella, oriented the company towards the future, opting for the path of naturalness, the return to the values of the land.

We’re proud to say that Mirabella was the first to create a Franciacorta without sulphites, in observance of the corporate philosophy of sustaining the environment and maintaining the quality.

Sustaining the environment, a natural vocation: our cellar, in fact, is underground and surrounded by a water table that keeps the temperature and humidity constant and we use electricity from clean, renewable sources.

The amazing private “Sparkling & Rosè” experience includes:

  • Welcome aperitif/coffee
  • Meeting with your Ambassador and a member of the Schiavi family
  • Visit of entire winery and of the family Caveau with the old vintages
  • Custom made Vertical (old vintages)wine tasting
  • A grand wine pairing lunch with a choice for 2 menus, based on meat or lake fish.

(menus will vary according to seasons and chef creativity…)

In 2023 the greatest satisfactions have been given to us by DØM Riserva 2015, which took home a lot of TOP scoring in Italian wine guides:

  • the 3 Glasses from Gambero Rosso
  • the 5 Grapes from the Bibenda Guide
  • the 4 Vins on Vitae (The AIS Wine Guide)
  • the 5 Spheres on Sparkle (reserved for the world of “bubbles”)
  • the 4 Stars on Vinibuoni d’Italia from the Touring Club Italia
  • the 3 Stars (91 points) on I Vini di Veronelli.
