Merchant's description

The Franci family, raised in Montalcino for many generations, started its business making honey by the patriarch of the family Guido Franci. The Franci Franca winery, run by his son Fabio Tassi, is strongly bonded with Montalcino’s territory since its origin. Its wine clearly expresses its tie to the land with elegance and uniqueness. The Bettina Cuvée was made in honour of Betty Sitt, philantropist and leader in the Sephardic community of Brooklyn and the Jewish community at large.
