Franciacorta Berlucchi 61 Extra Brut

Franciacorta is an Italian sparkling wine from the Lombardy region, made using the same method as Champagne. Known for its fine bubbles and rich flavors, it's primarily crafted from Chardonnay, Pinot Nero, and Pinot Bianco grapes. Franciacorta offers a sophisticated alternative to Prosecco, with a more refined, elegant profile.

For those in search of a true classic, here is a wine that works both as an aperitif and throughout a meal. It will bring out the flavours of a variety of dishes, from rice and pasta to white meats or fresh and medium-aged cheeses, without ever overpowering them. It goes well with a number of traditional Franciacorta recipes, from casoncelli (stuffed ravioli) to lake fish (perch and char).
