Product Notes

Berlucchi 61 Nature Franciacorta is an Italian sparkling white wine that boasts remarkable finesse and complexity. This distinguished dry wine originates from Lombardy, produced with the traditional méthode champenoise process. Vivacious golden hue complements its expressive bouquet of ripe fruit, warm bread and honeyed notes. The palate is well-structured, offering a tantalising sensation of acidity and minerality, balanced by a creamy texture. Enjoy persistent flavours of white peach, citrus zest and a hint of almond, resulting in an elegant finish. This wine pairs beautifully with shellfish, seafood and mature cheeses, making it a versatile choice for formal or casual settings.

Tasting Notes

Layered and elegant, with crisp apricot, yellow peach and candied citrus leading to freshly-baked brioche. A vibrant streak of acidity underpins a well-sculpted structure, and a energy-laden, richly-flavoured finish provides a tangy, sensory tautness.
