For the sixth consecutive year, Franciacorta brings Italian elegance and savoir-faire to the Emmy Awards
August 5, 2026 — Franciacorta confirms and further strengthens its presence in the United States by renewing its partnership with the Television Academy and the Emmy® Awards. Now in its sixth consecutive year, the collaboration will see Franciacorta accompany not only the 78th Emmy Awards ceremony, but the entire Emmy Season, playing a leading role throughout the series of events that make up the world’s most prestigious celebration of television excellence.
The season officially began on July 8 with the announcement of the nominations for the 78th Emmy Awards, celebrating both television’s most established stars and a new generation of performers and creatives. Among this year’s nominees are acclaimed artists such as Steve Carell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Harrison Ford, Lisa Kudrow, Gary Oldman and Michelle Pfeiffer, alongside emerging talents who are making their mark on the international television industry, including Taylor Dearden, Chase Infiniti, Sarah Pidgeon and Connor Storrie.
It is precisely this combination of celebrated icons and fresh new voices that makes the Emmy Season one of the most significant moments in the global entertainment landscape, offering Franciacorta the opportunity to engage with an international community of writers, actors, producers, industry professionals, media and opinion leaders from around the world.
Over the coming weeks, Franciacorta will take part in the season’s major official events, including the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony & Reception on August 13 at the JW Marriott LA Live in Los Angeles, the first weekend of the Emmys honoring the Creative Arts on September 5 and 6, the traditional Governors Galas, and finally the 78th Emmy Awards ceremony telecast worldwide on September 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, followed by the Governors Gala, the exclusive reception bringing together winners, nominees and distinguished guests.
Today, Franciacorta’s partnership with the Emmy Awards represents far more than a ceremonial presence at an awards event. Through its participation across the full calendar of Emmy Season activities, Franciacorta brings to Hollywood a story that celebrates territory, culture, conviviality and quality, helping to promote around the world the excellence of contemporary Italian craftsmanship and the values of Made in Italy.
