Azienda Agricola Solouva Magnum Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero N.M.

An authentic and rigorously crafted Franciacorta that, in the Magnum format, expresses the Solouva production philosophy with even greater depth, combining precision, vibrant tension, and extraordinary drinkability in a sparkling wine capable of enhancing every moment at the table.

Overview

A characterful Dosaggio Zero born from a single vineyard and elevated by the Magnum format

The Magnum Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero from Azienda Agricola Solouva is produced in limited quantities from the grapes of a single vineyard of just half a hectare, planted in 1995. This exclusive origin allows the wine to express the unique characteristics of both the vineyard and the Franciacorta territory in a direct and authentic way. The 1.5-liter Magnum format promotes a slower and more harmonious evolution, enhancing complexity, balance, and the finesse of the mousse. The absence of dosage highlights the purity of the fruit and showcases the natural freshness of the grapes, creating a profile that is precise, focused, and remarkably expressive. The result is a Franciacorta with a distinctive personality, capable of combining structure and immediacy in a wine defined by energy, elegance, and exceptional gastronomic versatility.

History of the Wine

This Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero represents one of the purest expressions of Solouva’s production philosophy. Everything begins with a small vineyard parcel of just half a hectare, planted in 1995, which forms the foundation of this winemaking project. The decision to focus on such a limited vineyard area reflects the desire to maintain complete control over grape quality while interpreting the territory through a handcrafted and highly site-specific production approach. Over the years, this label has become a symbol of a philosophy centered on precision, transparency, and respect for the raw material. The Magnum version further enhances these qualities, offering a slower evolution and an even greater capacity for aging and development over time.

Vineyard Philosophy

The Chardonnay grapes used for this Franciacorta come exclusively from the historic vineyard planted in 1995. Vineyard management is focused on enhancing the natural characteristics of the site and producing healthy, perfectly ripe fruit. Every stage of the growing season is carefully monitored to ensure the ideal balance between freshness, aromatic concentration, and fruit integrity. Low yields and meticulous attention to the vines allow the grapes to convey the full personality of their place of origin. The objective is not to alter the identity of the vineyard, but rather to guide and preserve its natural expression. This philosophy results in a Franciacorta that places terroir and varietal purity at the center of its character.

Winemaking Approach

The winemaking process is designed to maximize the quality of the fruit and achieve stylistic precision. Produced exclusively from 100% Chardonnay, this Dosaggio Zero follows the traditional method and undergoes a minimum of 24 months of lees aging, followed by an additional 6 months of bottle aging after disgorgement. This extended maturation period allows the wine to develop greater aromatic complexity, balance, and a fine, persistent mousse. The absence of final dosage preserves the wine’s transparency and authenticity, highlighting its tension, freshness, and territorial identity. In the Magnum format, the slower evolution contributes to even greater harmony and a more compelling aging potential.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Bright straw yellow with golden highlights and a fine, continuous, and persistent mousse.

Nose: Elegant aromas of citrus fruits, fresh apple, white flowers, and delicate notes of bread crust, complemented by mineral nuances and subtle hints of evolution.

Palate: Straight, focused, and precise, with well-defined structure and a dry palate that combines freshness, salinity, and exceptional drinkability. The finish is long, clean, and deeply satisfying.

Food Pairings

The dry character and vibrant freshness of this Magnum Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero make it an outstanding aperitif, while its structure allows it to accompany an entire meal with ease. It pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, fish tartare, carpaccio, and raw seafood preparations. It is equally excellent with delicate risottos, baked fish dishes, light fried specialties, and vegetarian cuisine. Its tension and precision also enhance fresh cheeses and contemporary dishes built around balance, freshness, and savory complexity. Its remarkable drinkability makes it an ideal companion for convivial gatherings and memorable dining occasions.
