Franciacorta ’61 Extra Brut Sparkling Wine | Berlucchi

Experience Berlucchi’s Legacy in Every Sip: Franciacorta Extra Brut ’61

Celebrate the spark that ignited a region with Berlucchi’s exquisite Non-Vintage Franciacorta Extra Brut ’61. Born in Lombardy’s prestigious Franciacorta appellation, this elegant Italian sparkling wine honors the 1961 birth of true Franciacorta winemaking – a heritage captured in every vibrant bubble.

Crafted from an 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Nero blend using the classic method, this Extra Brut delights the senses. Anticipate a lively dance of crisp citrus zest and white blossoms on the nose, leading to a beautifully textured palate. Acclaimed for its perfect balance, enjoy layers of creamy mousse cushioning vibrant acidity, revealing delicate hints of apricot, baked bread, poached quince, and a whisper of exotic guava and ground ginger. Discover a uniquely refreshing finish marked by clean minerality and a subtle, sophisticated note of bitter almond.

Praised by top critics for its spot-on balance and persistent perlage (Decanter 91, Wine Enthusiast 90, Wine Spectator 90), this food-friendly sparkling wine shines as an aperitif or paired beautifully with seafood, delicate pasta dishes, or creamy cheeses. At 12.5% alcohol, it offers sophisticated refreshment without heaviness.

More than just champagne alternative, Berlucchi ’61 is a taste of history – a fun, lively tribute in a bottle. Experience why this crisp, complex sparkler stands apart.
