Berlucchi '61 Franciacorta Extra Brut

Perlage

Soft, fine and persistent.

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 remarkable freshness and pleasant acidity; it is soft and balanced, with a pleasant citrus sensation on the finish.

Pairing

This wine is recommended from 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 knows how to enhance, without ever overpowering, the flavours of dishes, whether they are rice and pasta-based rather than white meats or fresh and medium-aged cheeses.
