In the following decades, the company has established itself as a leader in the production of classic method in Italy, while distribution is rapidly growing in the rest of the world, and the Franciacorta denomination has acquired wide recognition as one of the most prestigious wine-growing regions in the world. Guido Berlucchi’s portfolio marries purity with innovation, spanning from the classic “Cuvée Imperiale” to the innovative “61” product line, to the top of the range “'61 Nature” vintage and “Palazzo Lana” riserva wines.
