FRANCIACORTA DOSAGGIO ZERO 'ANIMANTE' BARONE PIZZINI DESCRIPTION

Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero "Animante" is the label that best represents the style and philosophy of Barone Pizzini, one of the most interesting wineries in the Brescia area. A pioneer of sustainable viticulture and since the 1990s under organic farming, today it represents excellence that produces wines of extraordinary expressive purity. The constant search for the highest quality in the vineyard, an impeccable winemaking process and a long ageing period give a Metodo Classico with intense aromas and a pleasantly fresh and mineral profile.

"Animante" is a Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero from Barone Pizzini, an estate of ancient origins, founded back in 1870 in Provaglio d'Iseo. Today the property covers about fifty hectares, located in different communes of the appellation. The vineyards are cultivated in hilly areas at an altitude of about 200 meters above sea level. The morainic soils, rich in gravel, pebbles and very well draining, are perfect for high-quality viticulture. Animante comes from a selection of grapes from 25 parcels located in the communal territory of Provaglio D'Iseo, Passirano, Cortefranca and Capriolo. The blend is based on a majority percentage of Chardonnay, supplemented by Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Erbamat, an ancient grape variety native to the Brescia area. After soft pressing, the must ferment in temperature-controlled steel tanks. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle, with ageing on the lees for about 30 months before dégorgement.

"Animante" from the Barone Pizzini winery is a Franciacorta of excellent quality, particularly suitable for tasting at aperitif time and to accompany seafood or vegetable appetizers. Brilliant straw yellow in colour, it is crossed by a luminous, fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet expresses refined floral aromas, hints of citrus peel, aromas of white-fleshed fruit, green apple, peach, honeyed and dried fruit nuances. Limpid and fragrant, it delivers an intense and complex, savoury and fruity sip that lengthens toward a harmonious finish with good persistence.
