Berlucchi Franciacorta Cuvée Imperiale DOCG Brut

Guido Berlucchi from Borgonato in Franciacorta is the winery that bottled the very first Franciacorta in 1961 – a mere 3,000 bottles at the time, now around 4.5 million per year. Founded in 1955 by Count Guido Berlucchi and oenologist Franco Ziliani, the winery embodies the unwavering conviction that Lombardy can produce a sparkling wine that rivals the best in the world. Since 2016, their 515 hectares of vineyards south of Lake Iseo have been certified organic, and the Mille1Vigna project precisely links each wine to its soil type. Today, Franco's children Cristina, Arturo, and Paolo run the family business – and Gambero Rosso named them "Winery of the Year" in 2022.
