Franciacorta Brut Satèn DOCG '61 Berlucchi

1961 is the year in which the first Berlucchi brand Franciacorta is produced, hence the choice to remember the year in a specially dedicated line, the '61 . This Franciacorta Satèn belongs to this line, 100% Chardonnay, born from grapes of vineyards with a high vocation of the Franciacorta territory.

The harvest period coincides with the period from the second ten days of August to the first 10 days of September. A soft and gradual pressing of the bunches is the necessary premise to obtain a top quality must with which to give life to the cuvée. After the refermentation in the bottle, this blister ages for at least 24 months on its lees and for another 2 months from disgorgement.

Intense straw yellow in color and with a soft and creamy froth, it opens onto an elegant and varied aromatic range centered on notes of tropical fruit ripe in the first place, followed by distinct sensations of candied citrus. On the palate it is fresh and savory, with a good structure, very pleasant, with a clean and persistent finish.

Excellent as an aperitif, it is enhanced with delicate risotto and fish main courses. It will amaze you in the company of a Parma or San Daniele raw ham.
