“He who does not chase a dream slowly dies... the dream of the earth, whispering wind of sweet violins, tapping rain of soft cellos, lashing hail of rhythmic timpani: the sun, motionless, dazzling, director of such an ancient orchestra.. . the passion for the land, in the family, always, as an interpreter of Franciacorta through the emotions of the heart and the ideas of the mind": nothing better than these words, chosen by the Berlucchi brothers, could introduce us to the Azienda Agricola Fratelli Berlucchi.
It is in the perfect harmony between Francesco, Gabriella, Marcello, Roberto and Pia Donata - with the latter covering the important role of managing director - that it is possible to find the reasons for the success of the Azienda Agricola Fratelli Berlucchi. A reality that can count on an overall extension that reaches almost seventy hectares of vineyards, all registered with DOC and DOCG, as well as on the great experience of the oenologist Cesare Ferrari, who has been the company's technical director for over thirty years.
All this creates a context from which Franciacortas of great personality, great charm and great precision are born, the secret of which has to do with the long refinements that characterize them. In fact, very long times are needed to produce Franciacorta: approximately seven months after the harvest, yeasts are added to the base wine and bottled, to give rise to a second refermentation, which will last for approximately two months. A minimum of 18 months must then pass (thirty and more if we are talking about vintage wines) of rest in the bottle on its yeasts, before each Franciacorta can be subjected to disgorgement and subsequent dosage. In the case of the “Fratelli Berlucchi” winery, all these times are expanded, even considerably, in order to find for each cuvée that elegance which is the true trademark of the company from Borgonato, a small hamlet of Corte Franca, in province of Brescia.
Whether it is Freccianera or Casa delle Colonne, those labeled "Fratelli Berlucchi" are bubbles with an irresistible charm, labels that represent the essence of what is the best Franciacorta.
