| Winery | The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines are grown in the estate vineyards of Arzelle, Rovere, San Carlo, and Ragnoli in the heart of the Franciacorta DOCG at a high density of 10,000 vines/ha. The Morainic soils were formed during the last Ice Age; gravely, stony soils are well-drained and rich in minerals. The cold winds from the Alps greatly influence the vineyards; however, the continental climate is mitigated by the effects of Lake DaIseo. The Berlucchi vines are Guyot and spurred cordon trained. For over 20 years, Berlucchi has been at the forefront of innovation and sustainability projects, such as vigour mapping the use of satellite images and multispectral cameras that capture plant's photosynthetic activity and, consequently, their state of health in real-time, which allows for bespoke cultivation, soil zoning and increasing biodiversity in viticulture. 2016, the three-year conversion to organic viticulture was completed; low-impact products have been used since 2000.
