Berlucchi
In 1955, the young oenologist Franco Ziliani approached Guido Berlucchi, a cultured gentleman and owner of a historic estate in Erbusco. Berlucchi was looking for an expert to refine his Pinot del Castello, but found a visionary partner. Ziliani, fascinated by Palazzo Lana and the centuries-old cellar, dared to propose something revolutionary: to produce a classic method sparkling wine in a land tied to still wines.
Guido agreed, and with his friend Giorgio Lanciani by their side, the three pioneers began the challenge. After some experiments, in 1961 the first 3,000 bottles of Pinot di Franciacorta were born, successfully uncorked the following year. It was the dawn of a new wine, destined to set a precedent.
In 1962, Ziliani signed another absolute first: the Max Rosé, the first Italian classic method rosé, created specifically for Massimiliano Imbert, a refined connoisseur of French rosé bubbles.
From that moment, growth was constant. Berlucchi played a decisive role in defining the Franciacorta style and affirming the denomination itself, which in 1995 obtained the DOCG, the highest certification of Italian quality. The winery became a reference model, bringing the name Franciacorta to the world as a synonym for elegance, innovation, and connection to the territory.
Today, Berlucchi continues to innovate while remaining true to its heritage, led by the Ziliani family with the same passion as in the beginning. Every bottle that is 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.

THE WINE
The Franciacorta Rosé Nature '61 by Berlucchi is a wine made from only Pinot Noir grapes harvested in the last week of August from vineyards located in the municipalities of Corte Franca and Provaglio d’Iseo. An elegant sparkling wine aged for at least 60 months on its own yeasts. With a brilliant salmon pink color, it expresses broad and varied aromas of peaches, plums, and dry pastries with notes of grapefruit, floral hints accompanied by an intriguing spiciness of pink pepper. On the palate, it is fine and pleasant, with a long aromatic finish. Elegant and refined, in excellent balance between freshness, savoriness, and creamy effervescence. Perfect with fish-based dishes.
BERLUCCHI '61 NATURE
The '61 Nature line was created in 2016 and now boasts three vintage Franciacorta wines - '61 Nature, '61 Nature Rosé, and '61 Nature Blanc de Blancs - united by long aging and the absence of dosage: a stylistic choice that maximizes the peculiarities of our territory.
Produced from a selection of grapes from the best-owned vineyards of Guido Berlucchi, the Franciacorta from the '61 Nature line patiently ages in bottle for at least 5 years.
This long aging in contact with the yeasts allows their taste to enrich with precious nuances, ultimately emphasized by the absence of dosage syrup, in the strict Nature style.
The Berlucchi '61 Franciacorta Nature is available in its Nature, Rosé, and Blanc de Blancs variations.
THE COMPANY
In 1955, the young and volcanic enologist Franco Ziliani turned to Guido Berlucchi, a country gentleman. Berlucchi was looking for a consultant to improve his Pinot from the Castle and instead found a partner for a taste adventure that would change the fate of Franciacorta.
Ziliani was fascinated by the elegant figure of Berlucchi, by his elegant residence – Palazzo Lana Berlucchi – and by the ancient underground cellar.
His youthful dream was to produce a classic method wine in his homeland, Franciacorta,
and he dared to propose to Berlucchi the idea of a "sparkling" wine in a territory accustomed to still nectars.
Berlucchi accepted, and the two pioneers were joined by their friend Giorgio Lanciani. The challenge began, and after some less fortunate vintages, in 1961, three thousand bottles of Pinot di Franciacorta were sealed.
Opened the following year, they proved to be excellent. The Franciacorta was born!
In 1962, Ziliani created the first Italian classic method rosé, Max Rosé, made to measure for Massimiliano Imbert, a Milanese antiquarian and friend of Guido Berlucchi. Imbert, a connoisseur of pink effervescences from across the Alps, wanted a rosé tailored to his refined taste: Max Rosé captivated him with its name, color, and flavor.
