Rizzini Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero

The production of Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero by Rizzini is characterized by great attention to detail and a traditional vinification in purity with Chardonnay. The grapes, hand-picked and carefully selected, are softly pressed and the must ferments in steel at a controlled temperature. It is then refined on the lees for 90 months in the bottle, during which the aromas and organoleptic characteristics typical of this process develop.

Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero by Rizzini has a bright straw yellow color with faint greenish reflections, an indication of the freshness of the wine. The foam is fine and persistent, forming an elegant and continuous perlage that develops in a rosary of bubbles that slowly rise to the surface.

On the nose, the bouquet is broad and complex, with a predominance of white-fleshed fruit, to which are added delicate floral nuances of hawthorn and acacia, and pleasant mineral hints of flint and yeast.

In the mouth, the attack is fresh and savory, with a bubble that envelops the palate in a pleasant massage, the structure is elegant and harmonious, with a perfect balance between acidity and savory. The taste is dominated by the fruity notes that we perceived on the nose, enriched by nuances of brioche bread and almond. The finish is long and persistent, with a pleasant mineral aftertaste that leaves a sensation of freshness and cleanliness.

The absence of dosage enhances the purity and complexity of Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero by Rizzini, making it a perfect companion for aperitifs, delicate appetizers, fish dishes, shellfish and fresh cheeses.
