Berlucchi '61 Rosé Franciacorta DOCG Magnum (1.5L)

A non-vintage Franciacorta DOCG rosé from Berlucchi, in a 150cl magnum. It is made from pinot nero and chardonnay. Pinot nero gives the wine its aromas and structure, set against the freshness and acidity typical of the style. It is elegant and works with a wide range of dishes, and equally well on its own as an aperitif. Tuna and salmon sushi make a good match. Intense pink in the glass, with soft foam and a fine, persistent mousse. The nose shows wild berries, biscuits, sugared almonds, yeast and bread crust. The palate is fine and balanced, with crisp acidity and freshness, and it closes on cherry with good persistence.
