Berlucchi Franciacorta Nature 61 Millesimato DOCG

The Franciacorta Nature 61 DOCG from Berlucchi is produced using the zero dosage method. Its color is a dense straw yellow with slight copper tones. Its bouquet is complex and elegant, and aromas of yellow and candied fruits appear on the nose.

The taste shows a beautiful acidity and powerful structure.

In the winter after the harvest, the time of "prove di cuvée" begins at Berlucchi, which translates to "cuvée selection". More than 200 base wines are tasted to create the character of the future Franciacortas.

In 1961, Franco Ziliani created the first Franciacorta bottle fermentation based on the Champagne model in the historic underground cellars in the small village of Borgonato, located at the southern end of Lago Iseo.

To give this event a face and honor the achievement, the house of Berlucchi created the Nature '61.

The Winery

Berlucchi

Guido Berlucchi from Borgonato in Franciacorta is the house that brought the first Franciacorta ever into the bottle in 1961 – at that time just 3,000 bottles, today around 4.5 million per year.

Founded in 1955 by Count Guido Berlucchi and the oenologist Franco Ziliani, the winery stands for the consistent conviction that Lombardy can produce a sparkling wine that can keep up with the best in the world. Since 2016, the 515 hectares of vineyards south of Lake Iseo have been certified organic, and the Mille1Vigna project precisely links every wine to its soil type.

Today, Franco's children Cristina, Arturo, and Paolo lead the family business – and Gambero Rosso named them "Winery of the Year" in 2022.
