FRANCIACORTA BRUT ROSÉ STORICA ’61

Grapes

60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay, grown in various communes of Franciacorta, partly from Berlucchi  estate vineyards, partly from vineyards under the direct control of Berlucchi vineyardists

Yield

varies between 80-100 quintals per hectare, with a yield in must of 55%

Vinification

gentle, gradual pressing, with quality fractio­ning of the must, and initial fermentation in stainless steel. A few hours’ maceration of the pinot noir on the skins (the “rosé of one night” practice) heightens in the wine the characteristics and hue of the pinot noir

Maturation

assemblage of the cuvée in the spring following harvest. Bottled with a liqueur de tirage of 24 g/l sugar and cul tured yeasts. Maturation sur lie for a minimum of 24 months, followed by an additional 2 months following disgorgement

Style

Brut

Sensory Characteristics

Appearance: soft, dense, foamy mousse, with a long-lasting delicate cordon around the glass, and a long-lingering bead of fine, pin-point bubbles

Colour: intense salmon-pink, which varies according to the vintage, due to the different ripeness levels of phenolic compounds in the Pinot Noir

Bouquet: elegant notes of wild berry-fruit and other ripe fruits, well melded with subtle nuances of yeast and crusty bread. Heady, warm quality from the brief maceration of Pinot Noir on the skins during vinification

Palate: refined and elegant, exhibiting exceptional acidity and body. Acidity is well-balanced by the medium dosage

Serving Suggestion

the perfect aperitif, it will also pair well with various kinds of cold meats and charcuterie, full-flavoured first courses and fully aged cheeses. Pairing it with shellfish  enhances its impressive structure

Serving temperature

8 °C
