Franciacorta Riserva DOCG 'Palazzo Lana Extreme' 2013 (750 ml deluxe gift box) Berlucchi
The Franciacorta Extra Brut Riserva 'Palazzo Lana Extreme' 2013 by Berlucchi represents the highest expression of pure Pinot Noir, selected from the best company vineyards. The cuvée is created from the free-run juice fermented in steel, with some of the base wines aged for 6 months in oak barrels. After the second fermentation in the bottle, the wine matures in contact with the yeasts for over 9 years, followed by an additional 11 months after disgorgement. It presents an intense gold color with coppery reflections and offers notes of ripe yellow fruit, candied orange, spices, and bread crust on the nose. On the palate, it is fresh, enveloping, and structured, with sapidity and acidity that support a long-lasting finish. An extraordinarily elegant Riserva, perfect with rich and structured dishes, game, and aged cheeses.

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.
Address:
Via Duranti, 4 - 25040 Borgonato di Corte Franca (BS), Italy
Color: intense golden yellow with bright reflections showing long aging.
Nose: broad and complex with hints of candied citrus, dried fruit, honey, toasted bread and light spicy and mineral nuances.
Taste: full and enveloping structure, fine and creamy perlage, balance between freshness and sapidity, long finish with echoes of ripe fruit and toast.

THE WINE
The Franciacorta Extra Brut Riserva 'Palazzo Lana Extreme' 2013 by Berlucchi represents the highest expression of pure Pinot Noir, selected from the best company vineyards. The cuvée comes from the free-run juice fermented in steel, with part of the base wines aged for 6 months in oak barriques. After the second fermentation in the bottle, the wine matures in contact with the yeasts for over 9 years, followed by an additional 11 months after disgorgement. It presents an intense golden color with coppery reflections, offering notes of ripe yellow fruit, candied orange, spices, and bread crust on the nose. On the palate, it is fresh, enveloping, and structured, with sapidity and acidity supporting a long-lasting finish. An extraordinarily elegant Riserva, perfect with dishes rich in structure, game, and aged cheeses.
THE COMPANY
In 1955, the young and dynamic winemaker Franco Ziliani approached Guido Berlucchi, a country gentleman. Berlucchi was looking for a consultant capable of improving his Pinot del Castello and instead found a partner for a flavorful adventure that would change the fate of Franciacorta.
Ziliani was fascinated by the elegant figure of Berlucchi, his elegant residence – Palazzo Lana Berlucchi – and the ancient underground cellar.
His youthful dream was to produce a classic method wine in his native territory, Franciacorta, and he dared to propose to Berlucchi the idea of a "sparkling" wine in a region 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.
Uncorked the following year, they proved excellent. Franciacorta was born!
In 1962, Ziliani created the first Italian classic method rosé, Max Rosé, tailor-made for Massimiliano Imbert, a Milanese antique dealer and friend of Guido Berlucchi. Imbert, a lover of the pink effervescence from across the Alps, desired a rosé created to suit his refined taste: Max Rosé won him over with its name, color, and flavor.
