Franciacorta DOCG '61 Extra Brut Magnum - Berlucchi (1.5L)

A Franciacorta Extra Brut from Berlucchi, made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown in the denomination's best vineyards and harvested at the end of August or beginning of September. After steel vinification and cuvée preparation, the wine undergoes a second fermentation in bottle by the Metodo Classico, followed by at least twenty-four months on the lees and about sixty days after disgorgement. It is presented in a 1500ml bottle. In the glass it is pale straw yellow with greenish reflections, with creamy foam and fine, persistent perlage. The nose offers bread crust, white peach, apple and citrus; the palate is taut, savoury and voluminous, with a long, refreshing citrus finish.
