Franciacorta DOCG Zero Dosage Bio 'Animante' XII Edition (750 ml.) Barone Pizzini
Franciacorta 'Animante' Zero Dosage – XII Release - is an authentic symbol of organic Franciacorta, Animante Dosaggio Zero is crafted from 25 vineyards at 200–350 meters above sea level, cultivated with full respect for biodiversity and natural balance. The grapes (70% Chardonnay, 13% Pinot Noir, 10% Pinot Blanc, 7% Erbamat) undergo gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. After 8 months of tank aging, the wine is left on the lees for 20–30 months, with multiple disgorgements from January to September. The zero dosage highlights the pure character of the terroir. On the nose, it’s complex and elegant, on the palate fresh, creamy, and savory. Excellent with raw seafood, sushi, pasta, and white meats.

Barone Pizzini
Barone Pizzini is to be counted among the historic cellars 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 entrepreneurs from Brescia: 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, the commitment to sustainable agriculture continues.
The vineyards of Barone Pizzini extend for a total of 47 hectares divided into 25 parcels between 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 depositions. The cultivation methods are organic and aim at 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 the territory. The harvested grapes are conveyed and vinified in an ultra-modern cellar, built in 2006 according to environmentally friendly 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 inextricably linked to the territory. They are organic wines that preserve and communicate a great charm, a must for all lovers of bubbles.
