61 Nature Millesimato Blanc de Blancs DOCG
- Description
ELEGANT, OF COURSE
With the 2012 vintage, the Berlucchi ’61 line is enriched with a new reference: Franciacorta Blanc de Blancs. The elegance of the most vocated and sunny parcel of Chardonnay, the purity of the Franciacorta territory in the total absence of dosage, in a package designed for great occasions or for a prestigious gift.
VISUAL APPEARANCE: Abundant, creamy froth with good persistence of a faint corona; fine, sinuous perlage.
COLOR: deep straw yellow with slight hints of old gold.
NOSE: broad and deep, characterized by notes of ripe plums, linden blossoms and tertiary notes of caramelized hazelnuts.
TASTE: On the palate, the wine is characterized by structure and power supported by vivid acidity; the final sapidity lends dynamism and tension.
Chardonnay (100%, sourced from the central portion of the Arzelle estate vineyard, with high planting density (10,000 vines/hectare).
There are questions capable of changing the fate of people and places.
“What if we made a sparkling wine the French way?”
was one of them.
In 1955 the young and volcanic winemaker Franco Ziliani turned it over to Guido Berlucchi, a country gentleman. Berlucchi was looking for a consultant capable of improving his Pinot del Castello and found instead a partner for a taste adventure that would change the destiny of Franciacorta.
