FRANCIACORTA ZERO 'CASA DELLE COLONNE' FRECCIANERA 2015 DESCRIPTION

The Franciacorta Zero “Casa delle Colonne” is an elegant and prestigious sparkling wine, as its name suggests. A name that not only indicates the family villa but also the importance of this label for the historic winery that produces it. The graphic design of the label is elegant and minimal, featuring a red shield that encloses the name and the vintage.

The “Casa delle Colonne” Franciacorta Zero by Freccianera is made from two different grape varieties: Chardonnay and Pinot Nero. The musts of the grapes ferment in large wooden barrels containing from 50 to 300 hectoliters, where they mature on the lees for about 7 months. The second fermentation in the bottle according to the Metodo Classico, the long aging on the lees for 60 months, and the subsequent disgorgement to remove the residues complete the production process. The indication Dosaggio Zero means that no sugars have been added before bottling and that, therefore, this sparkling wine has a very dry aromatic profile.

notes of exotic fruit, flowers, and bread crust interwoven with a freshness and minerality that enhance its complexity. With a straw-yellow color tending to golden, its taste is soft, balanced, and full-bodied, with a toasted finish. It can be paired with a multitude of dishes: from appetizers, to land and sea starters, and finally even to fried foods and tempuras. This label will bring liveliness and style to the most diverse occasions thanks to its rich and impeccable elegance.
