Berlucchi '61 Franciacorta Nature 2016
Born from the grapes of the best vineyards of the property, it requires at least 5 years of refinement on its yeasts. Very elegant, it is dedicated to the most attentive connoisseurs, able to appreciate the nuances of the pure taste of Franciacorta without the addition of dosage syrup, in the rigorous Nature style. Its image, distinct from the suggestions of the circle, symbol of perfection, will make it the favourite of those who love refinement in all its forms.

Perlage

Abundant, creamy mousse; sinuous, slender bead; and subtle, long-lingering crown at the rim.

Colour

Intense straw-yellow edged with subtle coppery highlights.

Bouquet

Multi-layered and elegant, with crisp-edged apricot, yellow peach, and candied citrus that meld into fresh-baked pan brioche.

Flavour

A vibrant acidity lends support to a well-sculpted. emphatic structure, and an energy-laden, richly-flavored finish provides a tangy, sensory tautness.

Pairing

It highlights the flavours of elavorate first courses and stuffed pasta, of stews and meat-based dishes in general, and even aged cheeses.
