Winery | The grapes come from the best vineyards of the Franciacorta DOCG, in Lombardy, where the topography follows an amphitheater shape formed by ancient glacial activity. The Morainic soils were formed during the last Ice Age; gravely, stony soils are well-drained and rich in minerals. The vineyards are greatly influenced by the cold winds coming from the Alps; however, the effects of Lake d'Iseo mitigate the continental climate. The vines are Guyot and spur-cordon trained. For over 20 years, Guido 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 plants' photosynthetic activity and, consequently, their state of health in real-time, which allows for bespoke cultivation; soil zoning and increasing biodiversity in viticulture. Organic fertilizers are employed, natural cover crops help to reduce evapotranspiration, and integrated pest management strategies safeguard useful insects and improve the vineyard ecology. The grapes are hand-harvested. |
