From this winery
  • Start up year: 2006
The Arcari + Danesi Agricultural Company was born in 2006 from an idea developed 10 years earlier by Giovanni Arcari and Nico Danesi. Friends since childhood, Giovanni and Nico have always worked in the world of wine, the former as a trader, the latter as an oenologist, both startuppers of wineries. The cellar has always been their dream that has finally come true.

The winery is located in the municipality of Coccaglio, on top of Montorfano, the relief that delimits Franciacorta to the south. The spaces of the company are completely excavated inside the hill and are entirely built with the rock extracted during the excavations. These are very particular rocks, created by millenary sediments, which are found only in this area of Franciacorta.

Montorfano, a hill of more ancient and tectonic origin than the other Franciacorta hills of morainic origin, has a ferrous and red soil that characterizes the wines with a lot of minerality. The external square and the terraced vineyards that surround the cellar face south, towards the Po Valley, a small patch of land, which on clear days lets you see the Apennines quietly.

Harvest The harvest takes place when the grapes are phenolically ripe then, compared to a classic method where the harvest is forced by man to technological maturity (the grapes are harvested according to the level of acidity and sugar content) that of the solouva method is postponed.
Production technique Arcari + Danesi since 2008 begins to produce Franciacorta with the solouva method (without exogenous sugars). The method is based on a simple concept: the grape is a fruit and as such it must be harvested when it is ripe.
Wine making After harvesting, pressing takes place in a soft way, to preserve the acidity of the must as much as possible. In all the phases of vinification - n the primary and secondary fermentation and in the addition of any dosage syrup self-produced sugar (in the form of frozen must) is used in order to obtain a product that is the natural expression of the fruit, without having to use exogenous sugars (sucrose or mcr).
Aging on the lees at least 30 months.
