Tasting note:

A fine roséSparkling wine from Italy with a beautiful light orange-pink colour and a delicate aroma of fruit tents and strawberries. Delicate, with a soft mousse, very fresh and youthful, orange peel and slightly smoky notes. Overall very elegant and light and easy-going, but at the same time not thin, but very vinous.

Berlucchi Franciacorta:

"The Berlucchi vineyards have been certified organic since 2016 and represent the cutting edge of viticulture in Franciacorta. They are so special because we have a production philosophy that embraces the interlinked principles of quality and sustainability. For this reason, we choose to produce less, but better.

Technology comes to our aid. For example, as part of the Mille1Vigna project, the vineyards were analysed and classified in order to link the character of each wine to the different soil type. Or thanks to infrared aerial mapping, we were able to assess the fertility of the different areas of the vineyard, postpone the harvest and only fertilise when necessary.

The Biopass soil biodiversity analysis has confirmed that we are on the right track: Our soils are healthy and full of life.

Our mission as a sustainable winery has taken shape thanks to a series of projects, actions and collaborations. The partnership with the Treedom platform has helped thousands of trees to blossom, a concrete step towards a better world with lower CO2 emissions and lush nature.

Since June 2021, we have welcomed 50 beehives to our historic Brolo vineyard. These bees of the species Apis mellifera ligustica improve the biodiversity of the wine ecosystem, facilitate pollination and enrich the soil.

Thanks to these and other projects, we are pursuing our path towards a sustainable Franciacorta and preserving the territory we love with the vision of an even greener future.
