The harvest, which took place in the second half of August, yielded grapes of excellent quality, perfect for a vintage wine like the \u003cstrong\u003e'61 Nature 2016\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVinification and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vinification of the \u003cstrong\u003eFranciacorta DOCG '61 Nature' 2016 Magnum - Berlucchi\u003c\/strong\u003e rigorously follows the principles of the Classic method. After an initial fermentation in steel, some base wines briefly mature in barriques to enrich themselves with complex notes. The cuvée is blended in the spring following the harvest and undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle where it ages on its lees for at least 60 months (5 years).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter \u003cem\u003edisgorgement\u003c\/em\u003e – the phase in which yeast residues are removed – the wine rests for another 6 months before being released to the market, to achieve the perfect balance between freshness and roundness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually, it presents a \u003cstrong\u003ebrilliant straw yellow\u003c\/strong\u003e, with golden reflections.
