Description and technical sheet
The Franciacorta DOCG Extra Brut '61 by Berlucchi represents the excellence of Italian sparkling wine tradition. Produced with a blend of Chardonnay (80%) and Pinot Noir (20%) grapes, this wine originates from the vineyards of Franciacorta, one of the most renowned areas for the production of classic method sparkling wines. The vines are cultivated on morainic soils, rich in minerals, which give the wine remarkable complexity and finesse. The grapes are hand-picked, with a rigorous selection of the best bunches. After alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, following the classic method, with aging on the lees for at least 24 months.
FRANCIACORTA DOCG EXTRA BRUT '61 - BERLUCCHI: TASTING NOTES
The Franciacorta DOCG Extra Brut '61 by Berlucchi presents itself in the glass with a bright straw yellow color and a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it offers an elegant and complex bouquet, with notes of citrus, green apple, and white flowers, accompanied by hints of bread crust and toasted almond, derived from the prolonged aging on the lees. On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively, with a pleasant acidity that perfectly balances the structure. The flavors of ripe fruit, citrus, and a slight mineral note blend harmoniously, leading to a long and persistent finish. This Franciacorta Extra Brut is ideal for accompanying seafood appetizers, shellfish, and fresh cheeses, but is also perfect to be enjoyed on its own as a refined aperitif.z
