Dosaggio Zero

The Letrari winery was founded in 1976 by expert enologist Leonello Letrari and his wife Maria Vittoria, however the Letrari family dates back to 1647 and has been making wine for centuries. Leonello was born on the family estate in Borgetto all’Adige, a locality that is on what was once the frontier between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Italian Kingdom. Today, Borgetto al Adige sits between the modern regions of Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige. The enthusiasm for fine wine production has been passed down from Leonello and Maria Vittoria to their daughter Lucia. Lucia graduated from the prestigious San Michele Al Adige Institute of Agriculture and Enology in 1987, and now successfully manages the family winery with the same skill and passion as her parents. Many of their devoted clients appreciate the classic sparkling wines Letrari Brut, Dosaggio Zero, Rosé Brut, +4 Rosè, Brut Riserva, Dosaggio Zero Riserva and 976 Riserva del Fondatore. The last two are carefully made from Chardonnay and Pinot Nero grapes and processed according to the classic method of bottle re-fermentation, in line with the precise regulations for the production of sparkling wines as denoted by the appellation “TRENTODOC”.

A sparkling straw yellow in appearance, it offers a soft, full mousse and a long-lingering bead of the tiniest of bubbles. The bouquet is appealingly refined, redolent of subtle apple and crusted bread. Its zero-dosage style succeeds in highlighting its delicate scents of fruit, while an incisive, dry palate presents fragrant pear and a lovely acidity.
