A restrained wine that’s a classic Franciacorta, with strawberries, stone fruit and fresh grapefruit on the nose. Aspirin flavors, medium bubbles, a medium body, zesty acidity and a silky 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.

Lovely white blossom, lemon zest and blanched almond aromatics. Gentle mousse with a pleasant touch of bitter almond on the long, lemony finish.
