Tasting Notes
Pale pink in appearance, this wine reveals a fragrant nose of red berries, stone fruit, and warm, heady notes, with a full-bodied, velvet-smooth palate.
Cultivation
Hand-harvested from mid-August to early September.
Vinification
Gentle pressing of clusters with fractioning of the must; fermentation in steel vats. A few hours of maceration on the skins (rosé maceration) to emphasize the aromas and hue of the grape variety. Assemblage of the cuvée during the following spring, with the addition of 10% reserve wines from previous vintages. Second fermentation in the bottles.
Aging
Maturation on the lees for a minimum of 24 months, followed by an additional 2 months after disgorgement and filtration.

Berlucchi, founded in 1955 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.
