Berlucchi Franciacorta Cuvée Imperiale DOCG Brut

Berlucchi's Cuvée Imperiale Brut is the classic from Franciacorta – Italy's answer to Champagne, produced using the traditional method of bottle fermentation ( Metodo Classico ). Berlucchi is considered the founder of the modern Franciacorta tradition and today holds over 40% of the market share in the category.

In the glass, a bright straw yellow with green reflections and fine bubbles. The bouquet combines bright fruit with floral notes and a distinct yeasty character – freshly baked bread, brioche. On the palate, dry and full-bodied, lively acidity, clean finish.

As an aperitif, with antipasti or mild fish. Serving temperature: 6–8 °C.

The Winery

Berlucchi

Guido Berlucchi from Borgonato in Franciacorta is the house that brought the first Franciacorta ever into the bottle in 1961 – at that time just 3,000 bottles, today around 4.5 million per year.

Founded in 1955 by Count Guido Berlucchi and the oenologist Franco Ziliani, the winery stands for the consistent conviction that Lombardy can produce a sparkling wine that can keep up with the best in the world. Since 2016, the 515 hectares of vineyards south of Lake Iseo have been certified organic, and the Mille1Vigna project precisely links every wine to its soil type.

Today, Franco's children Cristina, Arturo, and Paolo lead the family business – and Gambero Rosso named them "Winery of the Year" in 2022.
