Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero Castellini

25,00 

The Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero “Castellini” is produced from a selection of the finest grapes grown in the family’s historic vineyards, harvested under optimal climatic conditions and at the ideal stage of ripeness.

The grapes are hand-picked and undergo a gentle pressing process, followed by a first fermentation in stainless steel tanks for several months. A further 30 months of ageing on the lees in the bottle are required to develop its intense and complex aromas.

Thanks to the complexity of its bouquet and the intensity of its flavour, it is an ideal wine to accompany an entire meal.

Winemaking

Traditional method. The vintage Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero is obtained from a selection of the finest grapes from the historic vineyards owned by the Castellini family, harvested under optimal climate and harvest conditions. The Chardonnay grapes, harvested by hand, undergo soft pressing and a first fermentation in stainless steel tanks for about 7 months. A minimum of 36 months of secondary fermentation in contact with the lees is required to give the vintage Franciacorta intense and complex aromas, different for each vintage.
