Berlucchi

In 1955, the young winemaker Franco Ziliani approached Guido Berlucchi, a cultured gentleman and owner of a historic estate in Erbusco. Berlucchi was looking for an expert to perfect his Pinot del Castello, but found a visionary partner. Ziliani, fascinated by Palazzo Lana and the ancient cellar, dared to propose something revolutionary: to produce a traditional method sparkling wine in a land associated with still wines.

Guido agreed, and with their friend Giorgio Lanciani by their side, the three pioneers embarked on the challenge. After some experiments, in 1961 the first 3,000 bottles of Pinot di Franciacorta were born, uncorked the following year with success. It was the dawn of a new wine, destined to set a standard.

In 1962, Ziliani signed another first: the Max Rosé, the first classic method Italian rosé, created specifically for Massimiliano Imbert, a refined connoisseur of French rosé bubbles.

From that moment, growth was steady. Berlucchi contributed decisively to defining the Franciacorta style and the affirmation of the denomination itself, which in 1995 obtained the DOCG, the highest Italian quality certification. The winery became a model of reference, bringing the name Franciacorta to the world as a synonym for elegance, innovation, and connection to the territory.

Today, Berlucchi continues to innovate while staying true to its heritage, guided by the Ziliani family with the same passion as in the beginning. Every bottle born at Palazzo Lana tells a story of vision, courage, and authenticity: the story of those who first believed that something extraordinary could also be created in Franciacorta.
