Aroma: wild strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate, rose petal, chalk

Palate: redcurrant, blood orange, saline minerality, brioche

Pinot-led single-vintage Rosé Pas Dosé. Sixty months on lees and zero dosage strip the Pinot Nero down to its mineral and red-fruit spine.

What it pairs with

  • Tonno scottato al sesamo
    Lightly seared tuna with sesame crust finds a foil in the wine's pomegranate and rose petal lift; high acidity cuts through the sesame oil.
  • Carpaccio di branzino al limone
    Raw sea bass with lemon meets the wine's blood orange and saline finish; low dosage stays out of the way.
  • Crudo of red shrimp
    Sweet red shrimp meat finds a peer in the wine's wild strawberry; saline minerality echoes the shellfish brine.

History

Rosé extension of the '61 Nature line, launched after the blanc. Sixty months on lees and zero dosage drive a mineral-led Pinot Nero rosé.

Frequently asked about Berlucchi '61 Nature Rosé

What does '61 Nature Rosé taste like?

Wild strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate, rose petal and chalk on the nose; redcurrant, blood orange, saline minerality and brioche on the palate. Medium-bodied with high acidity and a long, mineral finish.

What does Pas Dosé mean for the Rosé?

No liqueur d'expedition is added at disgorgement. The Pinot Nero saigne base is stripped of dosage sugar, exposing the grape's natural acidity and the chalky moraine-hill minerality.

When should I drink '61 Nature Rosé?

Drink from release to 10 years from disgorgement. Sixty months on lees and zero dosage give the wine a longer cellar window than the standard '61 Rosé Brut.
