A zero-dosage Brut Nature Franciacorta from 1701's certified organic and biodynamic estate, made from Chardonnay with secondary fermentation in bottle and extended lees ageing — pure, precise, and uncompromising.
Tasting Notes
Pale gold with fine persistent bubbles. The nose is clean and focused, with citrus, white flower, and a mineral, chalky note from the glacial moraine soils. On the palate it is bone-dry, taut, and precise — the zero dosage lets the terroir character lead without any sweetness to soften it. Long, mineral finish. For those who want their Franciacorta without compromise.
