!["61" Franciacorta DOCG brut]()
“61” Franciacorta DOCG brut
Subtly fine aroma of bread crust and white peach, with hints of almond. Long and extremely pleasurable the fresh, clear taste - an affordable classic! SUPERIORE.DE
"The Franciacorta '61 Brut blends power with richness and bright, primary fruits to create a wonderfully pleasing experience. Citrus-tinged apples and apricots mingle with dried field grass and hints of brioche. It's teeming with energy but also soft and soothing, with a slightly exotic and almost-tropical note on the palate. Minerals and residual acids slowly fizzle out, leaving a complete fresh sensation." Vinous
"A rich and creamy Franciacorta that remains fresh and graceful thanks to a backbone of mouthwatering acidity. Offers a crowd-pleasing mix of baked melon, lemon-infused pastry cream, chopped hazelnut and candied ginger." Wine Spectator
"Elegant, mature yellow fruit, brioche, honey and herb on the nose, rounded juicy fruit and a cool minerality to the palate." Decanter

Just don't lose track now.
Every year about 140 million litres of wine are produced in Lombardy - about 2.5 percent of the total Italian production. The proportion of DOCG and DOC is above average at more than half. Lombardy has almost 22,000 hectares of vineyards and is divided into five DOCG and 21 DOC areas. The most common red grape varieties are Barbera, Bonarda, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Nebbiolo and Pinot Nero. The white varieties are dominated by Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Trebbiano varieties. Pure wines are in the minority. And there are an incredible number of different labels. Hard to remember. That is why the wines of the region are mostly considered unspectacular. Wrongly. It is therefore probable that Lombardy has not yet been able to establish its own identity alongside Piedmont and Veneto.
But one DOCG region of Lombardy has gained a worldwide reputation: Franciacorta.
Because this is Maurizio Zanella's home. His winery Ca' del Bosco is regarded as one of the best Italian producers of sparkling and still wines and was founded in 2003 by the "Gambero Rosso"the "Bible" for Italian wines, named Winery of the Year. Zanella ensured that an almost unknown cultivation area, the area between Brescia and Bergamo, whose calcareous soils offer similar conditions as the Champagne, became the sparkling stronghold of Italy and a place on the vinophile world map: the Franciacorta.
The pearls "artworks" Franciacorta.
The DOCG Franciacorta, outstanding from the variety of zones, stands for Brut sparkling wines according to the classic method of bottle fermentation, called Metodo Classico in Italy. The products produced there therefore do not have to hide from the famous French counterparts. The gentle hilly country east of Milan was hardly known even in Italy in the seventies. Maurizio Zanella was committed to quality right from the start. His Franciacorta Cuvée Annamaria Clementi - like many other sparkling wines of the DOCG Franciacorta - has long been considered to be a sparkling "artwork". Franciacorta may be one of the smallest wine regions in Italy, but the maxim here is: only the best is good enough.
Among the most outstanding Italian wines are the Nebbiolo red wines from the DOCG Valtellina Superiore with its subzones Grumello, Inferno, Maroggia, Sassella, and Valgella, located in the last Alpine valley before the Swiss border, as well as the Stagafassli, which actually already lies on Swiss territory. The Nebbiolo is called here by the way with the synonym Chiavennasca. Although the wines are less well-known than their famous relatives Barolo and Barbaresco from Piedmont, they are just as exciting and convince with an excellent price-performance ratio.
An insider tip is to be found south of the Po Valley, in the hilly foothills of the Ligurian Apennines: the Oltrepó Pavese. Reason for the wallflower existence: The largest part is sold in barrels - either to the large sparkling wine factories in neighbouring regions or to customers in cities and metropolises such as Milan. The best plants of the Oltrepó Pavese are of excellent quality. Above all, wines made from Barbera, Pinot Nero or Moscato varieties deserve more attention. SUPERIORE.DE
