OUR LATEST-BORN: BERLUCCHI ’61 NATURE BLANC DE BLANCS 2012
ELEGANCE ITSELF, OF COURSE
Berlucchi ’61 Nature Blanc de Blancs 2012 represents to most uncompromising expression of Chardonnay grown in the Franciacorta growing area, since the grapes are grown exclusively in the heart of a single vineyard. The grapes there display extraordinary roundedness and balance, thanks to the vineyard’s distinctive aspect, encapsulated in the vineyard’s very name, Arzelle, which in the local dialect means “burnt by the sun.”

These characteristics, combined with meticulous care in the vineyard and winecellar, yield a wine remarkable for its structure, crisp flavours, and finesse, all beautifully supported by a judicious acidity and a long-lingering, supple bead of pin-point bubbles.
