It originates in the heart of Franciacorta, Lombardy, one of Italy's most renowned areas for producing high-quality sparkling wines.\nThis is a Blanc de Blancs, meaning it is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, which impart freshness, aromatic finesse, and great elegance. The \"Nature\" style indicates that no sugar is added after disgorgement, making the wine dry and pure in its expression, ideal for those who appreciate an authentic and mineral taste.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2018 vintage in Franciacorta is remembered for its balanced climate: the cold winter allowed for a complete vegetative rest of the vines, while the mild spring and regular summer enabled a gradual ripening of the grapes. The result is a harvest characterized by healthy fruit, balanced berries, and excellent natural acidity, perfect for a Franciacorta of great precision and longevity.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eFranciacorta Millesimato Nature Blanc de Blancs DOCG 2018 - Berlucchi\u003c\/strong\u003e follows the Metodo Classico, with a first fermentation in steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve the fruit's fragrance. A portion of the wine ages for several months in barriques, gaining structure and complexity. After the final blending, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle and ages on its lees for at least 5 years, during which it develops its creamy character and aromatic elegance. Disgorgement occurs without dosage (Nature), enhancing the purity of the Chardonnay and the crispness of the Franciacorta terroir.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nVisually, it presents a bright golden yellow, traversed by a fine and persistent perlage that testifies to the long aging on lees and the care of the production method.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe bouquet is fine and complex: notes of candied citrus, yellow apple, and almond blend with hints of bread crust and yeast, typical of aging on lees.
