The Berlucchi Franciacorta Extra Brut '61' NV is an iconic Italian sparkling wine from the Lombardy region, named in honor of 1961—the historic year Guido Berlucchi and enologist Franco Ziliani produced Italy's first classic-method Franciacorta.

85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir (Pinot Nero), sourced from select hillside vineyards across Franciacorta. Aged on the lees for a minimum of 24 months, plus 2 months after disgorgement, with a 20% contribution of reserve wines.

Straw-yellow with subtle greenish highlights and a fine, persistent perlage (mousse). Crisp and elegant aromas, featuring notes of green apple, white peach, pear, citrus zest, and a delicate touch of toasted brioche. Dry and vibrant (Extra Brut style) with zesty acidity, a velvety texture, and a clean, mineral-driven, saline-infused finish.
