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.
Address:
Via Duranti, 4 - 25040 Borgonato di Corte Franca (BS), Italy
Color: intense straw yellow, with hints of rose gold
Perlage: very fine, abundant foam, persistent crown
Bouquet: wide olfactory sensations, with notes of yellow-fleshed fruits and candied orange
Taste: great freshness, with a clean taste and structure, all harmonized by minerality and acidity, which determine great persistence and significant longevity.

THE COMPANY
In 1955, the young and dynamic winemaker Franco Ziliani turned to Guido Berlucchi, a gentleman farmer. Berlucchi was looking for a consultant capable of improving 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, his elegant residence – Palazzo Lana Berlucchi – and 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 a few less fortunate vintages, in 1961, three thousand bottles of Franciacorta Pinot were sealed.
Opened the following year, they turned out to be excellent. Franciacorta was born!
In 1962, Ziliani created the first Italian classic method rosé, Max Rosé, made to measure for Massimiliano Imbert, a Milanese antique dealer and friend of Guido Berlucchi. Imbert, a connoisseur of sparkling rosés from across the Alps, desired a rosé tailored to his refined taste: Max Rosé won him over with its name, color, and flavor.
