Franciacorta Nature DOCG Millesimato Blanc de Blancs '61 2016 Berlucchi

Millesimé by pure, elegant and balanced Chardonnay, Berlucchi's Nature 61 Blanc de Blancs is the supreme result of a selection of grapes obtained from parcels different from the estate. The long aging on the lees, which lasts over 5 years, allows to best enhance the evolutionary notes of each batch.

After the harvest, the best part of the grapes ferments in steel; in a second moment the base wines rest on the lees in barrique for about 6 months and finally proceed with the assembly of the parts. Then there is a second fermentation, which takes place in the bottle. It is a refined and minimalist Metodo Classico, a no-frills wine particularly appreciated by those who love essential wines.

Pale straw yellow with bright golden reflections, it opens to the nose with a symphony of white flowers, citrus fruits, juicy and ripe white flesh fruit, which veer towards the scent of brioche. On the palate it offers a harmonious, long sip, which closes incisively in a very fresh finish.

It is a Millesimé recommended for the whole meal; pleasantly accompanies important appetizers, fish main courses, white meats and medium-aged cheeses.
