    We’re toasting February with a bottle of Berlucchi Cuvée ‘61, a sparkler it’s producers say, “celebrates the magical decade of the sixties” with a “creative spirit” that lives on today.

     

    We say, if that was their goal, they’ve succeeded. This is a really good, sparkling wine!

     

    Tasting Notes:

    Berlucchi Cuvée ‘61 Brut

    75% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir, 11.5 % ABV

    We say … Full fruit, nice acidity, not oaky Chardonnay heavy

     

    Berlucchi says … “Floral and fruit notes, fine acidity, full body”  

     

    We liked it so much, we added more to our wine rack.
