Fratelli Berlucchi Franciacorta Freccianera 2014
Varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc & Pinot Noir
Region: Lombardy, Italy
Appellation: Franciacorta
Fratelli Berlucchi is one of the biggest vineyards in the Franciacorta region, farming a huge 70ha of land. These wines are aged for a minimum of 30 months in bottle before being released to the market, and so you get an intensity and richness to them that is seldom found in Prosecco wines.
Here, you have a beautiful nuttiness and creaminess, and a remarkable toasty brioche character that is simply sublime. So, if you want a Champagne character without the pomp and intimidation, grab a bottle of this.
