Berlucchi '61 Saten

100% Chardonnay
These refined versions evoke the elegant and easygoing mood of the fabulous Sixties, when the first Franciacorta was created in the Berlucchi cellars. A line dedicated to those looking for something extra, without foregoing the lightness of the good times together. It is ideal for aperitifs, but also for lunches and dinners where nothing must be left to chance. The smooth elegance of this version makes it a perfect companion for aperitifs
