About this wine

Vinification

No dosage is added after disgorgement.

Ageing

Before secondary fermentation, the cuvée matures in oak barrels for six months. It then ages on the lees for at least 60 months after secondary fermentation.

Tasting profile

Fresh, elegant and well balanced, with Chardonnay contributing generosity and Pinot Nero minerality. Extended lees ageing brings structure and complexity, while the absence of dosage preserves a subtle, pure and precise character.

Label / history

The wine joined the “61” range in 2009. The range is named after the first year in which Berlucchi produced Franciacorta sparkling wine.
