Franciacorta DOCG "'61 Nature" 2017 Magnum - Berlucchi (1.5L)

A Franciacorta sparkling wine from Berlucchi, made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir harvested in the third decade of August from vineyards in Corte Franca and Provaglio d'Iseo. The cuvée was prepared in the spring after the harvest using only wines from that vintage. After the second fermentation in bottle, it ages on the lees for at least five years, followed by a further six months after disgorgement. It is intense straw yellow with a dense, fine and persistent perlage. The nose shows ripe fruit, exotic fruit, bread crust and mineral notes. The palate has good body and freshness, with sapidity and pleasantness, and the finish is persistent and well balanced.
