Description

Berlucchi's Franciacorta Nature '61 is mainly produced from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, coming from the vineyards owned by Arzelle, Rovere, San Carlo and Ragnoli.

The harvest takes place by hand in the third decade of August, then follows soft pressing of the berries and fermentation in steel at a controlled temperature. After aging for 6 months in oak barrels, the second fermentation begins and ends with an aging of at least 5 years on its own yeasts.

It presents itself to the eye of a beautiful intense straw yellow with light golden nuances, and with an abundant and persistent creamy foam. The perlage is very minute and sinuous. The nose offers an expressive aroma with a mineral character, which mixes with delicate hints of citrus, lychee and rye bread. On the palate it is fresh and structured, with great gustatory balance.

Perfect for any meal, this Millesimato goes well with refined appetizers, fish or white meats and medium-aged cheeses.
