Wine Spectator

“A juicy Franciacorta, with a silky texture and a fine bead, carrying flavors of kiwifruit, white cherry, grilled macadamia nut and white blossoms. A tang of blood orange peel and an underscoring streak of salinity are a refreshing sweep on the finish. Pinot Nero and Chardonnay. Drink now. 36,000 cases made, 2,200 cases imported.”

Highlights

Berlucchi Franciacorta 61 Extra Brut is a Chardonnay-led sparkling wine blended with Pinot Nero, delivering green apple, lime flower and citrus notes with large yet soft bubbles, refreshing acidity and a crisp, clean finish. Its airy, saline-tinged profile adds chamomile, mint, white peach and sour citrus, with a lean body and persistent perlage that give it an elegant, gastronomic edge.

Berlucchi Franciacorta 61 Extra Brut

Extra Brut '61 is a tribute to the birth of Franciacorta in 1961—the year Berlucchi produced the first of this classic method sparkling wine. This fun and lively sparkler offers citrus fruit and a crisp, clean finish. Blend 85% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Nero.

Critical Acclaim

92 James Suckling

Clean and simple, this has a tight nose of green apples and lime flowers. Large yet soft bubbles, refreshing acidity and lean body with a fruity finish.

92 Vinous

The NV Franciacorta Extra Brut '61 is lifted and airy, with a cascade of chamomile and mint complementing white peaches. It's loaded with zesty tension as a saline-infused wave of soft bubbles ushers in gobs of sour citrus and melon tones. Fresh to the very end, this leaves the mouth watering with a saline sensation that adds a truly gastronomic quality.

90 Wine Enthusiast

This fresh, creamy Chardonnay-based sparkler is making waves thanks to its crisp acidity and full-bodied mouthfeel. The balance is spot-on, with delicate aromas of apricot, baked bread and sweet citrus that are backed by smooth and persistent perlage.

90 Wine Spectator

The creamy mousse cushions firm acidity in this elegant sparkler, carrying notes of poached quince, guava, ground ginger and elderflower, plus a touch of briny oyster shell.

Yes, in most cases, the photograph on the product page is of the specific bottle for sale. If we have multiple quantities of the same item, the photo represents the general condition of all bottles under that SKU. Any significant condition issues, such as low ullage or bin-stained labels, will be clearly noted in the product description.

For wine, we recommend storing bottles on their side in a dark, vibration-free environment with good humidity, ideally between 55-60°F. Spirits like whiskey should be stored upright in a cool, dark place (60-70°F) away from direct sunlight to preserve their quality.
