Description: Berlucchi '61 Brut Franciacorta, a sparkling masterpiece that epitomizes the elegance and finesse of Italian wine making. Crafted in the renowned Franciacorta region, this exquisite sparkling wine is a celebration of tradition and innovation.
In the glass, this Brut displays a luminous straw-yellow hue, adorned with a persistent and fine perlage that dances gracefully to the surface. The nose is a symphony of delicate floral notes, where hints of acacia and wisteria intertwine with subtle undertones of green apple and citrus zest. A touch of minerality adds depth, reflecting the unique terroir of the Franciacorta vineyards.
On the palate, this Brut unfolds with precision and harmony. Crisp and refreshing, it boasts a perfect balance between vibrant acidity and a luscious, creamy texture. The fruit profile continues to shine, with flavors of ripe pear, white peach, and a hint of tropical fruit, creating a tantalizing medley that lingers on the palate.
