There is no better way to celebrate the short but intense history of Franciacorta than to uncork a bottle produced right where the famous Lombardy sparkling wine was born. The year was 1961. The oenologist was Franco Ziliani and the cellar was that of the famous Guido Berlucchi. The one proposed here is the Brut cuvée of a line dedicated by the historic Corte Franca winery precisely to that invention. Chardonnay in clear predominance with a hint of Pinot Noir, the grapes come from the most suitable vineyards in the 19 communes of Franciacorta. Soft mousse with good persistence, thanks to the fine, continuous perlage, this sparkling wine has a beautiful straw-yellow colour with greenish highlights. The nose is fresh, rich and elegant. Notes of white-fleshed fruit and citrus scents are also found on the palate. In the mouth it is fresh, well supported by pleasant acidity, but also soft and well balanced. Perfect as an aperitif, it also does not disdain a place on the table. For a territorial pairing, we can pair it with classic casoncelli, the tasty traditional stuffed ravioli, or with a lake fish dish, such as risotto with perch or a char fillet. But wine is versatile and can adapt to a thousand situations. The only limit might be our imagination.

No compromises. This wine is like that. Pure elegance. No tricks. Not even an ounce of sugar to dilute and smooth out the corners. 70% Chardonnay and the rest Pinot Noir. Soft and progressive pressing of the bunches. Alcoholic fermentation in steel and refinement of best batches in oak barrels, for 6 months in contact with their own lees. We wait until the spring following the harvest to prepare the cuvée, made exclusively from the wines of the vintage. This is followed by a second fermentation in the bottle and subsequent refinement on the lees. However, patience is required to achieve the right balance. In fact, they wait as long as 5 years, followed by at least another 6 months of rest in the cellar after disgorging. Too much ‘ You only have to pop the cork on a bottle to realize that no, time has not been wasted. Rather it has been invested Wisely. Abundant and creamy foam supported by a fine and sinuous perlage, in the glass it is a beautiful intense straw yellow colour, with slight coppery nuances. The nose is complex and elegant, with a distinct note of yellow-fleshed fruit, candied citrus and aromas of brioche. In the mouth it is characterized by structure and power, well supported by a pleasant acidity.

61 is the line of sparkling wines that Berlucchi has dedicated to the year in which the first bottles of a great classic method were produced in Franciacorta. It was 1961 and those bottles rested for months in the same historic cellars where these bottles rest today. Same magical place. Same unmistakable style. This Franciacorta DOCG Rosé, 60% Pinot Noir and the rest Chardonnay, comes from a few hours' maceration of Pinot Noir in contact with the skins followed by a second fermentation in the bottle, with subsequent aging in contact with its lees for at least 24 months. The result is a wine characterized by a beautiful soft froth, produced by a fine and continuous perlage. Bright pink in colour, it reveals elegant notes of berries and ripe fruit, well integrated with delicate aromas of yeast and bread crust. In the mouth it is fine and elegant, lively and full-bodied. A medium-high dosage of sugar balances well the strong natural acidity.
