Corte Franca

Corte Franca is the heart of Franciacorta and is divided into four villages - Borgonato, Colombaro, Nigoline and Timoline. Large, old residences alternate with renowned wineries surrounded by attractive vineyards.
Among the more beautiful are the Villa Berlucchi in Borgonato, Villa Lana of Conti Terzi in Colombaro (in whose gardens stands the highest Cedar of Lebanon in Italy and 300 years old), Palazzo Monti della Corte and Palazzo Torri in Nigoline and Villa Pizzini in Timoline.
