This zero/zero Franciacorta is an absolute stunner. Not only is it one of the only naturally-made wines from the region, but also the only one made by a female winemaker. Alessandra’s precision and thoughtfulness are expressed in the wine in the form of racy acidity and clean, mineral-driven depth. Soft, slow hand pressing of the grapes with the manual wood basket press results in a light maceration. With only 1g/L of residual sugar present in the bottle, and a whopping 33 months on the lees, the wine is racy and full on the palate, with notes of brioche.
Sensory Features: Dosage Zero Blanc de Blancs Divella impresses with its expressiveness, character and multifaceted taste. It has a wonderful golden yellow color, striking in the glass for finesse and endless persistence of perlage that is elegantly lively on the palate. The nose is eclectic and multiform, broad and rich, reminiscent of typical bakery and small pastry, the result of long aging on the lees. The entrance in the mouth is crisp, taut and pleasing freshness and minerality, continuously entices the drink, alone or accompanied by fish and cheese dishes.
