Berlucchi “61” | Saten | Franciacorta DOCG
Guido Berlucchi ’61 Saten’ Franciacorta Brut NV is an elegant and multifaceted wine with aromas of peach, apricot, and tropical fruit that give way to candied citrus notes. Its balanced structure provides a robust body with a tangy acidity for a unique taste. Enjoy this fine Brut as an aperitif or with light risottos and fish dishes. Pairs well with Sauris, Parma and San Daniele prosciutto and medium-matured cheeses.
The grapes were gently pressed and the musts underwent cold static clarification. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts, controlled at 16°C. Once the first fermentation was complete, the wine was racked to remove the coarse lees. The wine did not go through malolactic conversion, retaining a crisp style. The base wines was refined on the fine lees for around six months with variable frequency bâtonnage, before the final blend which included 10% reserve wines aged in French oak barriques and tonneaux. The secondary fermentation to obtain the sparkling wine, took place in bottle; it was refined on the lees for 24 months, followed by a further two after disgorgement.
