Freccianera is the name that distinguishes all Franciacorta wines from the Azienda Agricola Berlucchi Brothers which has been producing quality wines since 1927. Franciacorta from the morainic soil – dry limestone – which, together with the temperate climate, offers grapes envied by many other territories in the world, such as Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, Erbamat, essential ingredients to create Franciacorta.

Fratelli Berlucchi’s vineyards are all between Borgonato di Cortefranca, Torbiato di Adro and Provaglio d’Iseo, within a 2 km radius of the winery, in the province of Brescia. These vineyards still retain the names given to them by the family in the 1800s: Fontanella, La Palazzina, Tre Camini and Casa delle Colonne.

70 hectares of property, treated according to the most up-to-date viticultural techniques, under eco-environmental cultivation in accordance with a European Community proposal to respect the environment, with flowering rose bushes in the header. Every single vineyard has been mapped for decades, allowing invaluable knowledge in the blending of the Cuvées. The average age of the vineyards is truly impressive, with the oldest being 52 years old, and they have each achieved the Italian certification of sustainably quality (SQNPI) .

Freccianera is one of the oldest and best-preserved wineries in Franciacorta, one of the few that has never changed ownership. Its authentic 14th-century vaults reveal Renaissance frescoes, and the mediaeval weapons found in its vineyards inspired its name (Freccianera means black arrow, in Italian).
