Tasting notes: 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. On the palate, it is refined and elegant with exceptional acidity and full body. The acidity is balanced well by the medium-high sugar content.
About the winery: In 1955, Guido Berlucchi took, with a friend enologist, Franco Ziliani, a local wine heritage over in the wine area of Franciacorta, and transformed it into the place of Italy's finest sparkling wines. They were the pioneer to create sparkling wine in this area. Today, Berlucchi is managed by Ziliani's children.
