Description
Franciacorta Zero Dosage sparkling wine, 12.5% ABV, produced by Santus. Blend: 70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir. A Franciacorta born from the passion of Maria Luisa Santus and Gianfranco Pagano, both agronomists, who in 1995 decided to dedicate themselves entirely to viticulture in Franciacorta. Bright yellow color. Distinct notes of honey, citrus, and white flowers are supported by a savory and mineral acidity. A wine that expresses the purity of the terroir, ideal for those who love authentic flavors.

In the space of three years, they planted about 60.000 vines over an area of 10 hectares and they now take personally care of vineyard management.
The Santus philosophy is based on the firm belief that a small wine grower’s mission must be to protect nature’s diversity and its many nuances, by rejecting standardization in any form.
In order to emphasize the strong vine-climate-terroir bond, no cuvée wines are produced and only single-vintage wines are bottled.
Harvesting occurs quite late into the season, giving all Franciacorta Santus wines a mineral character, complexity and structure combined with great drinkability. Read more
