Berlucchi ’61 Extra Brut Franciacorta

*Available for in-store pickup only*

Franciacorta sparkling wine has much more in common with French Champagne than it does its Italian cousin, Prosecco. Made it the mèthode champenoise style, this this sparkling wine is crisp, rich and elegant, fairly lengthy, with apple and pear fruit and a pleasing citrus hint in the finish. Displays exceptional freshness and zesty acidity with a velvet texture and fine balance, concluding with appealing notes of citrus.

For those in search of a true classic, here is a wine that works both as an aperitif and throughout a meal. It will bring out the flavours of a variety of dishes, from rice and pasta to white meats or fresh and medium-aged cheeses, without ever overpowering them. It goes well with a number of traditional Franciacorta recipes, from casoncelli (stuffed ravioli) to lake fish (perch and char).  It brings out the best qualities of dishes based on rice, pasta, white meats, fresh and medium-aged cheeses.

Chardonnay (85%) and Pinot Noir (15%), from the best vineyards in the 19 municipal areas of Franciacorta.
