94 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Aromas of bread crust and yellow apple waft out of the glass along with a whiff of forest floor and camphor. The palate is dry but also offers rich flavors of ripe stone fruit, orange zest, brioche and walnut alongside a persistent, creamy perlage. Bright acidity keeps it young and fresh, with years to go. (Dec 2022)"
92 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "Pale pink with amber hues, the NV Franciacorta '61 Rosè lifts up with a bouquet of wild strawberries, crushed apples, hints of sage and flowery undergrowth. There’s a richness here, coupled with stimulating acids, spicy peach, pears and zesty citrus that keeps you coming back to the glass. There’s simply so much going on here; and it keeps you guessing at each tilt of the glass, closing off with a savory umami sensation and inner florals. This is really quite stunning! The '61 Rosè is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir to 40% Chardonnay that was disgorged in 2019. Drink 2021-2025 (Dec 2021)"
91 points / '#93 Top 100 Wines of 2021' Wine Spectator: "[$36 list] Enticing aromas and flavors of ripe strawberry and raspberry fruit are set on the fine, lively bead in this clean-cut, mouthwatering rosé, with a chalky underpinning. Lightly spiced on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2024. (4/30/21)"
90 points James Suckling: "Apricot-colored sparkling with aromas of wild strawberries, cherry stones and strawberries. Juicy and soft with a medium body and creamy bubbles. Lightly off-dry. Drink now. (6/4/23)"
