Berlucchi
Berlucchi, founded in 1961 by Count Guido Berlucchi and winemaker Franco Ziliani, pioneered Franciacorta as Italy’s first traditional-method, bottle-fermented sparkling wine, establishing a legacy of innovation that continues today. Each glass reflects uncompromising quality, crafted under some of the world’s strictest standards for yields and aging, while estate vineyards are certified organic and sustainability is promoted across all partners. Led now by the children of Ziliani, Berlucchi combines luxury and precision with environmental stewardship, producing sparkling wines that celebrate both the region’s heritage and a forward-looking commitment to excellence.
Our Relationship
Berlucchi is a true innovator, and I was fortunate our paths crossed through a mutual PR firm I was meeting with on behalf of another important winery for Volio.
It was a truly memorable experience visiting the vineyards and winery in Franciacorta. The palace and the caves are incredible, but the real beauty of the estate is the Ziliani family. They really love the region and take tremendous pride in all that they, and their neighboring wineries, have accomplished.
