Berlucchi '61 Extra Brut 750ml

For those in search of a true classic, here is a wine that works both as an aperitif and throughout a meal. It will bring out the flavours of a variety of dishes, from rice and pasta to white meats or fresh and medium-aged cheeses, without ever overpowering them. It goes well with a number of traditional Franciacorta recipes, from casoncelli (stuffed ravioli) to lake fish (perch and char).

Appearance: Soft Mousse with long-lasting cordon around the glass; fine, lingering bead.

Nose: Crisp, rich and elegant, fairly lengthy, with apple and pear fruit and a pleasing citrus hint in the finish.

Palate: Displays exceptional freshness and zesty acidity with a velvet texture and fine balance, concluding with appealing notes of citrus.
