Franciacorta DOCG Reserve 'Palazzo Lana Extreme' 2013 (750 ml. gift box) Berlucchi
Franciacorta Extra Brut Reserve 'Palazzo Lana Extreme' by Berlucchi is Franciacorta at its best. 100% Pinot Noir, preparation of the cuvée with 100% wines of the vintage chosen from the best selections. The 'heart' of the free-run must ferments in steel; at the end, some batches refine in oak barrels for 6 months in contact with the yeasts. Second fermentation in the bottle and subsequent refinement in contact with the yeasts for at least 9 years, finally a further 11 months after disgorgement. The olfactory sensations are broad, with hints of yellow-fleshed fruits and candied orange. On the palate it is very fresh, clean and structured, all harmonized by minerality and acidity, which determine great persistence and important longevity. A reserve for special occasions that pairs pleasantly with dishes rich in structure and flavor.

BRL-P.LANA-EXTREME2011
In 1955, young and irrepressible oenologist Franco Ziliani directed that query to Guido Berlucchi, a country gentleman who was looking for a consultant who could improve his Pinot del Castello, and what he found instead was a partner for an adventure in fine taste that would profoundly transform the destiny of Franciacorta.
Ziliani was fascinated by the elegant figure of Berlucchi, by his handsome mansion, Palazzo Lana Berlucchi, and by its ancient underground cellars. His youthful dream was to produce a classic-method wine in his native area, Franciacorta, and he boldly proposed to Berlucchi the idea of making a sparkling wine in a winegrowing area long dedicated to still table wines.
Berlucchi accepted, and the two pioneers joined forces with Berlucchi’s friend Giorgio Lanciani. The challenge was taken up, and, after some less-than-satisfactory vintages, 1961 finally saw the corking of three thousand bottles of Pinot di Franciacorta. When the corks were drawn the following year, the wine met all their expectations. Franciacorta was born!
In 1962, Ziliani created Italy’s first classic-method rosé, Max Rosé, inspired by Massimiliano Imbert, a Milan-based antiquarian friend of Berlucchi’s who prized the French sparkling rosés and desired an Italian rosé that would satisfy his refined taste. Max Rosé’s name, appearance, and taste completely won him over.
