Franciacorta Rosé Dosaggio Zero Colline della Stella - Arici

Franciacorta Rosé Dosaggio Zero Colline della Stella - Arici is a label that expresses the best characteristics of the beautiful Gussago area, located on the far eastern border of the Franciacorta region. Andrea Arici has reclaimed old abandoned vineyards, creating a small estate which has immediately come to the attention of wine lovers with a series of zero-dosage bottles of limpid expressive purity. The Rosé presents an austere and fresh profile, vertical and savoury, highlighting the character of the terroir and an uncompromising style.

Rosé Dosaggio Zero Colline della Stella - Arici is a pure Pinot Noir. The vineyards are cultivated on terraces covering steep hillsides, located at an altitude between 150 and 350 meters above sea level. The soils are very distinctive, characterized by a predominantly limestone matrix of pre-Alpine origin, very different from the majority of soils in the central area of Franciacorta, consisting of rolling moraine hills rich in pebbles and gravels. At the end of the harvest, the grapes are pressed very gently, with brief contact with the skins in the press. The base wines are aged for six months in steel, on the noble lees, before final blending. Secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Metodo Classico, with an 18- to 22-month soak sur lattes.

Dosaggio Zero Franciacorta Rosé from the Colline della Stella - Arici winery is a sparkling wine dedicated to those who love the typical aromas of Pinot Noir without easy concessions to softness or sweetness artificially created with sugary dosages. To the eye, it is bright pink in colour, with lively luminous reflections. Elegant and intense, it opens on the nose with fragrant scents of citrus, pink grapefruit, floral notes, light spicy sensations, aromas of raspberry, red currant, pomegranate, nuances of fresh almond and herbs. Limpid and refined, it has a delicate and complex sip, long and deep, characterized by expressive tension and a pleasant, saline streak, accompanied towards a dry and mineral finish, very fresh and persistent. Without any doubt one of the best rosés in Franciacorta.
