- FRANCIACORTA SATEN 61 MAGNUM BERLUCCHI DESCRIPTION
- The “Berlucchi 61” in its Saten version is the exaltation of the most persuasive character of Chardonnay, made important and enhanced even more in the Magnum format. The name celebrates the year of birth of the first Franciacorta, 1961. That was in fact the first real production year of the Metodo Classico which wanted to be "a sparkling wine in the French style", as the winemaker Franco Ziliani stated six years earlier, addressing Guido Berlucchi. From that provocation, launched with the utmost curiosity and resourcefulness, the adventure of the Brescia sparkling wine production began, which would then gradually establish itself with success answering to the name of Franciacorta. A name that immediately evokes class and charm, creaminess and finesse. It is no coincidence that this sparkling wine has been able to easily connect with the fashion industry, the most chic events and the most refined dinners, thanks to its undisputed and impeccable elegance.
- This Magnum label of "Berlucchi 61" is a Franciacorta Saten, that is, a Classic Method sparkling wine that must be produced with only Chardonnay grapes and which, once the refermentation is complete, has a lower carbon dioxide content. It all begins with a normal vinification, which takes place in stainless steel tanks and allows for the production of a pure Chardonnay white wine. It is bottled and sugar and yeasts are added. The bottle is corked so that the second fermentation can begin. Once the yeasts have transformed all the sugar present into alcohol and carbon dioxide, the fermentation stops and the rest on the yeasts for at least 24 months begins. This is the time when the wine is enriched with the typical fragrant aromas and complexity that characterize the typology. The months of maturation on the yeasts are followed by another 2 of refinement in the bottle after disgorgement.
- The Franciacorta Saten Magnum "Berlucchi 61" is the purity of Chardonnay, told in its most delicate and fine version. The perlage is soft, creamy and persistent, as befits the typology. On the nose it presents a rich and elegant aroma, which flows on notes of ripe yellow and tropical fruit, at times almost candied. Fragrant notes of bakery and shortcrust pastry speak of a contact with the yeasts that has been able to interact with the wine. On the palate the creaminess is enveloping and in balance with the freshness and flavor. The finish is precise and persistent. If the expressiveness of Chardonnay meets the Franciacorta soils and is expressed in a Saten version, the result can only speak an elegant language.
