The ‘61 Extra Brut is a direct tribute to that founding moment: a wine that honors the method, the place, and the vision that put Franciacorta on the world stage. Made from 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Nero, aged 24 months on the lees in the traditional method, it earns scores of 92 from James Suckling, 91 from Vinous, and 90 from Wine Advocate — and delivers the kind of precision and elegance that makes Franciacorta Italy's most serious answer to Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is vivid and inviting — Asian pear, lemon oil, green apple, lime flowers, and an enriching hint of toasted brioche and sourdough. On the palate, the wine is supple and pleasing, with a core of citrus-tinged acidity balancing a pleasant inner sweetness. Young peach, white pepper, orange peel, and inner florals resonate throughout, while almond paste and salty mineral linger on the finish. Large yet soft bubbles, refreshing acidity, and a lean, focused body make every sip leave the palate perfectly reset for the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cem\u003eJames Suckling 92 — \"Clean and simple, tight nose of green apples and lime flowers.
