Overview

A highly distinctive Dosaggio Zero born from a single vineyard

Azienda Agricola Solouva Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero originates from a limited production sourced from a single vineyard of just half a hectare planted in 1995. This small parcel represents the heart of the winery’s project and makes it possible to create a wine with a strong sense of identity, capable of expressing its territory through a rigorous and artisanal vision. The choice of a zero dosage style allows all the characteristics of the grapes and terroir to emerge in a direct and transparent way, without elements that might alter their original profile. The result is a Franciacorta that is focused, precise, and deeply rooted in its place of origin, distinguished by extraordinary tension and a drinkability that captivates from the very first sip. Elegance, freshness, and authenticity coexist in perfect balance, making this label one of the most sincere interpretations of the Solouva style.

History of the Wine

This Franciacorta represents a perfect synthesis of Azienda Agricola Solouva’s philosophy, which is built upon the enhancement of individual vineyard parcels and the authentic expression of raw materials. Everything begins with a small vineyard planted in 1995, selected as the exclusive source for this winemaking project. Over the years, the wine has become a symbol of a production approach centered on precision, transparency, and respect for the territory. Every bottle tells the story of the work carried out in both the vineyard and the cellar to preserve the identity of its place of origin. The consistency of its style and its ability to interpret each harvest with coherence have helped establish this Dosaggio Zero as a benchmark for those seeking authentic and uncompromising Franciacorta wines.

Vineyard Philosophy

The grapes used for this wine come exclusively from the historic half-hectare vineyard planted in 1995. Vineyard management is focused on promoting the natural balance of the vines and producing perfectly healthy and ripe fruit. Every stage of the growing season is carefully monitored to preserve aromatic integrity, freshness, and concentration. Low yields allow Chardonnay to develop notable complexity while maintaining tension and precision of expression. Work in the vineyard is aimed at enhancing the character of the parcel without interventions that might alter its identity. This philosophy results in a wine that places terroir and varietal purity at the center of its character, two fundamental elements of Solouva’s production vision.

Winemaking Approach

The winemaking process follows the principles of the traditional method and is designed to highlight the quality of the grapes through careful and respectful intervention. Produced exclusively from 100% Chardonnay, this Franciacorta undergoes 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 aromatic complexity, depth of flavor, and a fine, persistent mousse. The decision to release the wine as a Dosaggio Zero enhances its purity and emphasizes both its mineral character and vibrant tension. The final result is a sparkling wine that is precise, linear, and energetic, fully capable of expressing the character of its vineyard of origin.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Bright straw yellow with luminous reflections and a fine, continuous, and persistent mousse.

Nose: Delicate aromas of citrus fruits, fresh apple, white flowers, and light notes of bread crust that merge with elegant mineral nuances.

Palate: Straight, focused, and dry, with balanced structure and vibrant freshness that carries the wine toward a long, clean finish marked by remarkable salinity.

Food Pairings

The precision and freshness of this Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero make it an ideal aperitif of exceptional quality, while its structure allows it to accompany an entire meal with ease. It pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, fish tartare, carpaccio, and raw seafood dishes. It is equally excellent with delicate risottos, baked fish, vegetarian preparations, and fresh cheeses. Its pronounced tension enhances contemporary dishes built around the balance between freshness and savory complexity. The extraordinary drinkability that defines this wine makes it exceptionally versatile and suitable for a wide variety of dining occasions.
