THE PARTY

For the fourth year in a row, Italian wine company Franciacorta served the official sparkling wine of the Emmy Awards. To mark the occasion, the brand invited esteemed guests to a private dinner at beloved Italian restaurant Angelini Osteria and set up bars at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, the Performer Nominees Celebration and the Governors Gala—the exclusive Emmys afterparty.

THE PEOPLE

VIPs, including renowned Italian actress and “Made in Italy” ambassador Miriam Leone, Marta Pozzan, Will Burke and more, attended a number of events, while stars such as Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Cris Abrego and more toasted with Franciacorta at the Governors Gala.

THE PINNACLE

Spirits were high all week leading up to the main event, but Franciacorta’s outstanding dish at the Governors Gala was a true highlight. To pay homage to the Erbusco region, where his restaurant Hill Colle resides, chef Augusto Pasini prepared gnocchi “a la plancha” topped with Franciacorta sauce and black truffle. Cheers to that!
