Wine Advocate: 90 Points
A blend of 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Nero (with 24 months on the lees in bottle), the Guido Berlucchi NV Franciacorta '61 Extra Brut is clean and sharp, and the wine offers a good amount of bread or sourdough to elevate the bouquet. There is some fruit, but it is mild and tends to stick to citrus and apple. The palate shows more dimension with a spot of white pepper and orange peel.
