Berlucchi Franciacorta 61 Extra Brut
Berlucchi Franciacorta 61 Extra Brut
Extra Brut '61 is a tribute to the birth of Franciacorta in 1961—the year Berlucchi produced the first of this classic method sparkling wine. This fun and lively sparkler offers citrus fruit and a crisp, clean finish. Blend 85% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Nero.
Critical Acclaim
92 James Suckling
Clean and simple, this has a tight nose of green apples and lime flowers. Large yet soft bubbles, refreshing acidity and lean body with a fruity finish.
92 Vinous
The NV Franciacorta Extra Brut '61 is lifted and airy, with a cascade of chamomile and mint complementing white peaches. It's loaded with zesty tension as a saline-infused wave of soft bubbles ushers in gobs of sour citrus and melon tones. Fresh to the very end, this leaves the mouth watering with a saline sensation that adds a truly gastronomic quality.
90 Wine Enthusiast
This fresh, creamy Chardonnay-based sparkler is making waves thanks to its crisp acidity and full-bodied mouthfeel. The balance is spot-on, with delicate aromas of apricot, baked bread and sweet citrus that are backed by smooth and persistent perlage.
90 Wine Spectator
The creamy mousse cushions firm acidity in this elegant sparkler, carrying notes of poached quince, guava, ground ginger and elderflower, plus a touch of briny oyster shell.
