2010 DosaggioZero Riserva, Colline della Stella, Franciacorta

A real rarity, this spends an impressive five years on the lees, adding even more notes of hazelnut and brioche, as well as a delicious dried fruit character to the wine. So long, pure, and complex, with a finish that lasts for minutes. Riper that most vintage Champagne, but in terms of complexity would give many prestige cuvées a run for their money.

Colline della Stella

In the late 1990s, young winemaker Andrea Arici, under whose name this estate is also known, decided to nurture some old, overgrown terraced vineyards on the northern border of the Franciacorta appellation. Still in his 20s, he made his first vintage from these old vines, situated on pure limestone, in 2002. He doesn’t use any dosage (additional sugar) in his wines, preferring his Pinot Noir and Chardonnay-based sparkling to show the minerality and salinity of the terroir clearly. This is one of the most crystalline Franciacortas we’ve tasted.
