Franciacorta 61 Nature 2016 – Berlucchi
£29.90
A blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir, this wine is complex and crafted for the most discerning connoisseurs. A zero-dosage vintage Franciacorta, it spends six months aging in oak barrels to develop its distinctive character.
It features an abundant, creamy mousse, with a persistent, delicate crown and an elegant, fine perlage.
On the nose, it is refined and elegant, opening with notes of yellow fruits, subtle citrus aromas of citron, and hints of delicate pastry.
The palate reveals exceptional balance, combining a robust structure, vibrant acidity, and a persistent savoury finish, offering both personality and depth.
When it comes to food pairing, this Franciacorta shines with structured pasta dishes, stuffed fresh pasta, fish-based mains, white meat dishes, and aged cheeses.

Why do we love Franciacorta 61 Nature 2016? Well, we couldn’t agree more with Walter Speller when he said this wine can go head-to-head with Champagne. That’s a bold statement, but it’s spot on. Franciacorta is usually known for being lighter, fresher, and super easy-drinking. But this? This is something else entirely. It’s elegant, complex, and packed with potential.
Why will you love it too? Let’s be honest—if you think you’re not into Franciacorta, it’s probably because you haven’t tried a Franciacorta yet. This wine has the kind of depth and personality that changes minds. It’s not just another sparkling wine; it’s a revelation. Try it, and you’ll see what we mean!
