TASTING NOTES: in the mouth, the intriguing freshness is balanced by a soft and balanced sip, with a finish rich in citrus sensations.

FOOD PAIRINGS: very versatile in pairing, it is an excellent companion for aperitifs but also the best choice for escorting fish first courses and white meat main courses.

AWARDS:

  • James Suckling 90 / 100
  • Wine Enthusiast 92 / 100

ADDITIONAL NOTES: the debonair and elegant time of those fabulous Sixties, when the first Franciacorta was born in Berlucchi's cellars, is evoked in these refined versions. A line of creations dedicated to those who demand something more, but without giving up the lightness typical of the most convivial moments.

Made from Chardonnay (85%) and Pinot Noir (15%) grapes, its harvest time, strictly by hand, is from the second decade of August to the first of September. The grapes undergo a soft, progressive pressing with fractionation of the musts after which the must undergoes alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Aging takes place in contact with the yeasts for 24 months, followed by 2 months after disgorgement.


For those looking for a great classico, here is a wine that is recommended both as an aperitif and for the whole meal. It knows how to enhance, without ever overpowering them, the TASTING NOTES of dishes, whether they are rice and pasta-based rather than white meats or fresh and medium-aged cheeses. It excellently accompanies some typical franciacorta dishes, from casoncelli (stuffed ravioli) to lake fish (perch and char).

BOXED: NO
