Contadi Castaldi Zèro Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero Millesimato DOCG 0,75 ℓ

The Franciacorta Zero Millesimato by Contadi Castaldi is sourced from different specific units of footpaths in the renowned Franciacorta sparkling wine area. It is made with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, whose collection has always been carried out manually between the end of August and the beginning of September. After a soft pressing of the grapes, the fermentation takes place for 20 days in stainless steel, alternated later by a partial malolactic fermentation. After a first refinement of 7 months, partly in steel and partly in barrique, the second fermentation takes place in bottle with permanence on its lees for 36-40 months. On visual examination, Contadi Castaldi's Franciacorta Zero shows a straw yellow colour and a perlage of beautiful finesse and persistence. With citrus notes of grapefruit, hints of black currant, walnut husk, bay leaf and green tobacco follow one another. On the palate it is structured and sapid, with a great personality, with a pleasantly long and persistent finish. Excellent with risotto and cold cuts, it goes well with all fresh water fish dishes.
