TASTING NOTES
In the glass it appears light straw yellow with greenish reflections, creamy foam and fine and persistent perlage. The smell of bread crust, white peach, apple and citrus fruits is delicate and pleasant. The tasting proves to be tense, savory and voluminous, with a long and refreshing citrus finish.
COMBINATIONS
Excellent for uncorking as an aperitif, with finger food and small appetizers, but also with vegetarian dishes, poultry and white meats prepared in a simple way. Perfect pairing with lake fish and classic casoncelli alla Bresciana.

FRANCIACORTA EXTRA BRUT DOCG "'61" - BERLUCCHI: WHY WE LIKE IT
2022 marks the restyling of the design and of Berlucchi's Franciacorta DOCG "'61", proposed for the first time in the Extra Brut version, by the Lombard wine company. Fresh, savory and citrusy, it presents itself as an extremely pleasant, versatile and contemporary sparkling wine, with a fluid and immediate drink. It is born in the best vineyards of the denomination, from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes harvested at the end of August/beginning of September, to guarantee the right maturation and the perfect concentration of varietal aromas and flavours. Vinified in steel, after the preparation of the cuvée, the wine is bottled and subjected to a second refermentation, according to the Classic Method. This is followed by refinement on the yeasts for at least 24 months and a rest of approximately 60 days after disgorgement. Ideal for all convivial and informal moments, Franciacorta "'61" offers a lively and satisfying taste, perfect for those seeking not only high quality but the expression of the territory and of a passion that has lasted for over 50 years.
