ITALY APPELLATION Franciacorta can be made to different levels of sweetness: Zero Dosage, Extra Brut, Brut, Extra Dry, Sec or Dry, Demi-Sec. Today, the name Franciacorta is synonymous with the area, the production method and the wine itself, so much so that a European law prohibits the use of the word ‘Spumante’ (meaning ‘sparkling wine’) to describe it, just as with Champagne. Below is a selection of the leading Franciacorta producers. THE UNFORGETTABLE WINEMAKER FRANCO ZILIANI AND THE FIRST BOTTLE OF PINOT DI FRANCIACORTA VINTAGE 1961 THE CHARMING CASTELLO VINEYARD, ONE HECTARE OF ORGANIC VINES ON THE SLOPES OF THE MEDIEVAL MANOR OF BORGONATO BERLUCCHI The history of Franciacorta began with the story of Guido Berlucchi, who created the area’s first traditional method wine in 1961. In 1955, Guido Berlucchi called the very young winemaker Franco Ziliani for advice on how to improve his small production of white wine. Ziliani met Guido, tasted his wine and had the idea of producing sparkling wine. It was his dream to produce an Italian wine using the traditional method and he achieved this in 1961. Ziliani was also ahead of the curve in his choice of name: ‘Pinot di Franciacorta’, to emphasise the link between the wine and the land. This ‘start-up’ paved the way for all subsequent companies. In 2021, the Berlucchi company turned 60, coinciding with the number of years that have passed since that first bottle of Franciacorta. Today, Franco Ziliani’s children share the workload in the company they have owned since 2017. Cristina handles marketing and hospitality, Arturo is winemaker and managing director and Paolo is tasked with sales and exports. This important company remains family-run and faithful to its original values, focusing on producing the highest quality but also displaying a strong awareness of the modern requirements for sustainability. Berlucchi produces wine from approximately 550 hectares of vineyards, 115 of them owned by the family and the remainder managed by winegrowing partners. The grapes are divided between around 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir. The company produces 4 Franciacorta lines: - Cuvée Imperiale - Berlucchi’s historic and versatile range, with 6 Franciacorta labels covering almost all styles: Demi-sec, Brut, Rosé, Saten, Zero Dosage and Vintage. - ‘61 Numero Primo - non-vintage Franciacorta, in the Extra Brut, Saten and Rosé styles, aged for two 48 AUTUMN 2022 • GILBERT & GAILLARD - THE FRENCH EXPERTS ON WINE
