No Vintage- The appearance of the Berlucchi Franciacorta '61 Rose is a soft, foamy mousse with long-lasting cordon around the glass; fine, lingering bead. Intense pink in color, varies slightly according to the vintage, due to the different ripeness levels of phenolic compounds in the Pinot Nero. The nose is comprised of elegant hints of wild berries and ripe fruit, nicely blended with subtle nuances of yeast and crusty bread. Heady, warm quality from the brief Pinot Nero maceration on the skins during vinification. The palate is refined and elegant with exceptional acidity and full body. The acidity is balanced well by the medium-high sugar content.
Blend: 60% Pinot Nero, 40% Chardonnay
Bright and savory, this refreshing, polished sparkler boasts alluring aromas of juicy raspberry, wild cherry, baking spice and a whiff of bread crust. The inviting aromas follow over to the vibrant palate along with a continuous refined perlage. A tangy candied nectarine note closes the finish.
