Erbusco is a town in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy. A picturesque village in Franciacorta, with the ruins of the castle, the Romanesque church of Santa Maria Assunta, houses the sixteenth-century Villa Lechi, the most scenic in Franciacorta.
Palazzo Lechi, the work of an unknown architect, is located on the top of a hill and is in Rococò style with a characteristic U-shaped plan; although it is closed to visitors, it still deserves a visit from the outside.
A must for those visiting this village is to select some wineries for a wine tour of Franciacorta, with its classic method sparkling wines that have become famous throughout Italy, and also appreciated abroad.
