Berlucchi '61 Franciacorta Brut Magnum

Perlage

Soft mousse, with good persistence of a tenuous crown; fine and continuous perlage.

Colour

Straw yellow with greenish reflections.

Bouquet

Fresh, rich, elegant, fairly persistent, with notes of white-fleshed fruit and hints of citrus.

Flavour

The taste reveals considerable freshness and pleasant acidity; it is soft and balanced, with a pleasant citrus sensation on the finish.

Pairing

A wine that is recommended from the aperitif to the whole meal and is an excellent accompaniment to some typical Franciacorta dishes, from casoncelli (stuffed ravioli) to lake fish (perch and char). It enhances, without overpowering, the flavours of the dishes, whether they are rice and pasta dishes, white meats or fresh, medium-aged cheeses.
