Franciacorta DOCG Brut '61 Berlucchi

It is a line, that of '61, created to celebrate the splendor and splendor of the year of birth of the first Franciacorta, created in 1961 in the centuries-old Berlucchi cellars, after the meeting of Guido and Franco Ziliani. Guido Berlucchi is the most pure expression of a territory: pure, because in every glass of Berlucchi you can breathe the typical grace of the Franciacorta bubbles.

Born from Chardonnay (90%) and Pinot Noir (10%) grapes, its harvest time (strictly by hand) is from the second decade of August to the first of September.

The grapes undergo a soft and progressive pressing with fractionation of the musts after which the must carries out alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The aging takes place in contact with the yeasts for at least 24 months, followed by another 2 months after disgorgement.

Brut '61 is distinguished by a straw yellow color with greenish reflections. It opens to the nose fresh, rich, elegant, enriched with hints of white pulp fruits and citrus notes. On the palate it reveals a pleasant acidity, soft and balanced, with pleasant final hints of citrus.

It is a wine that for organoleptic qualities is among the most versatile enough to be an excellent companion for an aperitif, but also a wine that goes well with any meal, from fish-based first courses to white meat-based second courses. Certainly to try with some typical dishes of Franciacorta, from casoncelli (stuffed ravioli) to lake fish (perch and char).
