The Berlucchi "61" Franciacorta Nature represents the essence of Franciacorta's terroir, crafted with a zero-dosage approach to highlight the natural purity of the region’s grapes. Named after the year 1961, when Guido Berlucchi and Franco Ziliani pioneered Franciacorta's sparkling wine production, this wine pays tribute to the origin of Italy's renowned sparkling wine region. Made from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from the estate's best vineyards, the Nature expression undergoes extended aging on the lees for at least five years, resulting in a wine with complex aromas of green apple, citrus zest, almonds, and a touch of toasted bread. The palate is dry and precise, with vibrant acidity, a fine perlage, and a long, mineral-driven finish that reflects the region's limestone-rich soils. The Berlucchi "61" Franciacorta Nature is perfect for wine enthusiasts who appreciate a bone-dry sparkling wine, and it pairs beautifully with sashimi, shellfish, or lightly seasoned white meats. Its pure expression offers an authentic taste of Franciacorta’s natural elegance and winemaking heritage.
