Lanzani Bottega & Bistrot

When Alessandro Lanzani sets his mind to something, the result is sure to be wonderful. Through the passion that drives him every day, he has built up his restaurant into one of Italy’s most exclusive gastronomic addresses, winning a string of awards along the way. From its origins as his father’s butcher shop, Alessandro applied his trademark perseverance and commitment to create this foodie landmark in the picturesque Brescia hills. What finer accompaniment could there be than a glass of Krug, served at just the right temperature?

A talk with Alessandro Lanzani

Always pursue your dreams.

With whom would you share your dream dinner with?

I would love to sit down at a table with Luigi Veronelli. Although he is no longer with us, this famous gastronome, wine critic and radical thinker still has an influence in Italy and was a driving force behind appellations of origin for Italian produce.

What has life taught you?

Always pursue your dreams. It has worked for me!

Your first sip of Krug?

Unforgettable, I remember my first taste of Krug perfectly. I was bewitched by its brilliance, its ultra-fine bubbles and its unlimited bouquet. In that precise moment I realized that that sip would change my professional future.
