Franciacorta DOCG Zero Dosage 'Zero Uno' 2024 (750 ml.) Andrea Arici
Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero “Zero Uno” – Andrea Arici is a vibrant and uncompromising metodo classico, crafted without any added sugar, to fully express the terroir of the Gussago hills in eastern Franciacorta. Made from 100% Chardonnay, grown on highly calcareous, well-drained terraced soils, it reflects the region's natural acidity and marked minerality. Harvesting is done by hand, with strict grape selection. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, followed by at least 30 months of lees aging, enhancing its finesse and depth. On the nose, it offers citrus notes, chalk and white flowers, while the palate is sharp, clean and layered, with a long, salty finish. Perfect pairing with raw seafood, oysters, ceviche, vegetable tempura, and fresh goat cheeses, enhancing its precision and expressive purity.

Andrea Arici
Nestled in the easternmost hills of Franciacorta, near the charming village of Gussago, Colline della Stella is a small, family-run winery founded in 1997 by the passionate and visionary Andrea Arici. Today, the estate spans 15 hectares of terraced vineyards, planted between 150 and 350 meters above sea level on soils rich in active limestone — highly draining and capable of delivering wines with remarkable acidity, tension, and mineral precision.
From the very beginning, the winery has embraced a bold and authentic vision: to craft exclusively non-dosage Franciacorta. No added sugars, no compromises — just the pure expression of terroir and vintage. The result is a collection of sparkling wines that are vibrant, expressive, character-driven, and remarkably elegant, speaking directly to the soul of their origin.
The estate’s flagship varieties, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, are vinified in stainless steel tanks and aged briefly on the lees to preserve their freshness and aromatic purity. The secondary fermentation takes place in bottle following the Metodo Classico, with extended aging on the lees from 18 up to 60 months, allowing the wines to gain depth, texture, and complexity. After disgorgement, the bottles are topped up with the same wine only, maintaining an uncompromised, honest style with zero dosage.
In addition to its acclaimed sparkling wines, Colline della Stella also produces a limited range of bold and expressive still reds, crafted from Barbera, Nebbiolo, Rebo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Syrah. These wines undergo two years of aging in French oak barrels, resulting in refined structure and layered complexity.
More than just a winery, Colline della Stella is a declaration of intent — a celebration of identity, terroir, and unfiltered passion. Each bottle invites you to explore a genuine, uncompromised expression of Franciacorta, shaped by the hands of a true artisan.
