A mousse of soft, creamy foam provides a long-lasting cascade of extremely fine bubbles. |

Elegant, rich, and long lasting; notes of peach and pear, with hallmark complexity from secondary-fermentation characteristics and lengthy sur-lie ageing. |
|
|

| The proportion in each year’s cuvée may vary slightly from year to year. On average they are: 35% chardonnay from Franciacorta, 45% chardonnay from the Trentino, 15% pinot blanc from the Alto Adige, and a small amount (5%) of pinot noir from the Oltrepò Pavese. |
|
 |
| Cuvée assembled from carefully-selected grapes from DOC vineyards in exceptional growing areas of Franciacorta, of Trentino-Alto Adige (with a Berlucchi Press House in Lavis, near Trento), and of the Oltrepò Pavese (Berlucchi Press House in Casteggio, near Pavia). |
