Berlucchi Franciacorta '61 Rosé with an intense pink color, which can vary slightly at each harvest due to the different degree of phenolic ripeness of the Pinot Noir. With elegant notes of wild berries and ripe fruit, well blended with delicate aromas of yeast and bread crust .
Pleasant vinosity, due to the short maceration of Pinot Noir on the skins during the vinification phase. On the palate it is fine, elegant, lively and full-bodied; the medium-high dosage of sugars balances the marked acidity.

Enticing aromas suggesting crushed mint, fennel seed and red woodland berries waft out of the glass. Silky and vibrant, the palate delivers tart cherry, pomegranate, star anise and a dollop of pastry cream set against a smooth, polished perlage. Bright acidity lifts the savory flavors. — Kerin O’Keefe

A grapefruit-colored rosé with sliced apples, raspberries, blood orange and some brioche on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with silky, soft bubbles and bright acidity. Crisp and fresh with a savory finish. Dry feel. Drink now.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
The NV Franciacorta '61 Brut Rosé (disgorged in 2017) represents a nicely balanced blend of 60% Pinot Nero and 40% Chardonnay aged in the bottle on the lees for 24 months. This is a delicate but festive wine that shows a steady succession of small berry, lilac and floral aromas. There's a refreshing kick of acidity on the close.
