Franciacorta Brut Satèn DOCG '61 Berlucchi

1961 is the year in which the first Franciacorta of the Berlucchi brand was produced, so it was decided to commemorate it with a special line, the '61. This Franciacorta Satèn, 100% Chardonnay, is made from grapes grown in the most prestigious vineyards of the Franciacorta area.

The harvest takes place between the second 10 days of August and the first 10 days of September. The grapes are gently and gradually pressed in order to obtain a high quality juice that will give life to the cuvée. After a second fermentation in the bottle, this sparkling wine is aged on the lees for at least 24 months and for a further 2 months after disgorgement.

Intense straw yellow in colour, with a soft and creamy mousse, it opens to an elegant and varied bouquet, dominated by notes of ripe tropical fruit, followed by distinct sensations of candied citrus. On the palate it is fresh and savoury, with a good structure, very pleasant, with a clear and persistent finish.

Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with delicate risottos and fish dishes. It will surprise you when paired with Parma or San Daniele prosciutto.
