Our cellar

The "Franciacorta Dream" was born in the 1990s on the benches of the Agrarian School attended by Maria Luisa Santus, from Franciacorta, and Gianfranco Pagano, from Salento (now also husband and wife and parents of three children). 

Both had a desire: to dedicate themselves to viticulture respecting nature and the rhythms of the land where it is practiced. 

In 1995 their goal became clear and common: to totally dedicate themselves to viticulture in Franciacorta and to produce wines of great character and expressive uniqueness and so they started acquiring small plots of land in Franciacorta.

In five years they planted 60,000 vine shoots in 10 hectares of land.

At the base of the philosophy of the company there is the conviction that the task of small winemakers is to be a vanguard in defense of biodiversity and all the nuances that nature offers.

Since 2016, the path of organic certification of the grapes has begun. From the 2019 harvest, all Santus Franciacorta wines, which will see the light from the end of 2021, will be organic. 

From the great desire to share, communicate and let people touch with their hands their life in Franciacorta and the company's philosophy, the project of the new winery was always born, for which works began in October 2019 and are about to be completed.

December 14 Christmas Open Day
Prima esperienza di degustazione in Franciacorta. E’ stato un onore fare un Brindisi con gli eccellenti BRUT e DOSAGGIO ZERO Santus in occasione del mio compleanno!. Gli Squisiti proprietari hanno creato un ambiente elegante di sharme dentro e fuori, e mi hanno regalato 2 ore indimenticabili! Ci rivedremo presto.

TASTING PLATINUM
Molto facile da trovare e con parcheggio antistante, è una realtà creata da zero circondata da uva e natura. E come da titolo, non è grande al cospetto di altre cantine, ampio spazio verde, capannone (super pulito, ordinato e soprattutto tecnologico) e salone con desk e shop. La visita dura un'oretta poi si degusta: noi avevamo la platinum con saten, bolla e l'essenza...provatelo, ne vale assolutamente la pena!
