The Franciacorta 'Animante' Dosaggio Zero – XII Tiratura - is an authentic expression of organic Franciacorta, born from 25 vineyards located between 200 and 350 m s.l.m., cultivated with practices that respect biodiversity and natural balance. The grapes (Chardonnay 70%, Pinot Nero 13%, Pinot Bianco 10%, Erbamat 7%) are gently pressed and vinified in stainless steel at controlled temperature. After 8 months of maturation in tanks, the wine ages on the lees for 20–30 months, with progressive disgorgements from January to September. The zero dosage enhances the expressive purity of the terroir. On the nose, it is complex and refined, on the palate fresh, creamy, and savory. Ideal with raw seafood, sushi, first courses, and white meats.

Barone Pizzini
The Barone Pizzini is one of the historic wineries of Franciacorta, known and esteemed for the quality and reliability of its cuvées. Founded in Provaglio d’Iseo in 1870 by Baron Giulio Pizzini Piomarta Von Thurberg, the winery is now led by a group of passionate Brescia entrepreneurs: Ugo Colombo, Piermatteo Ghitti, and Silvano Brescianini. In 1998, it was the first winery in Franciacorta to embrace the cause of organic viticulture and today, alongside the pursuit of quality and excellence, it continues its commitment to sustainable agriculture.
The vineyards of Barone Pizzini cover a total of 47 hectares divided into 25 plots among the municipalities of Provaglio, Corte Franca, Ado, and Passirado. They are rooted at about 200 meters above sea level and on partly morainic soils, enriched by fluvioglacial deposits. The cultivation methods are organic and aim for the harmonious balance of the plant, the production of well-characterized grapes, a guarantee of quality and health for the consumer, and the protection of the environment and territory. The harvested grapes are processed and vinified in an ultra-modern winery, built in 2006 according to eco-compatible architectural criteria, equipped with photovoltaic panels and natural conditioning systems.
From the lively and rigorous activity of the Barone Pizzini winery comes a rich and extraordinary range of Franciacorta sparkling wines, all of great quality and indissolubly linked to the territory. They are organic wines that retain and communicate a great charm, unmissable for all sparkling wine lovers.
