Franciacorta Riserva Annamaria Clementi Dosaggio Zero: if there are any Italian sparkling wines whose name makes the taste buds vibrate, this is one of them. Dedicated to Annamaria Clementi, founder of Ca' del Bosco and mother of Maurizio Zanella, it is the result of the assembly of 26 wines from 18 different vineyards, with 55% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Bianco and 20% Pinot Black. Each cluster is selected to then benefit from the "cluster spa". A particular system of washing and hydromassage of the bunches, through three soaking tanks and a system for complete drying. The base wines are obtained from very first pressing musts. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in small oak barrels, made with selected woods and aged for at least 3 years. Here it remains on its lees for another 6 months, also carrying out the malolactic fermentation. After blending, the ageing in contact with the yeasts lasts for more than 8 years.

FRANCIACORTA RISERVA ANNAMARIA CLEMENTI ZERO DOSAGE: TASTING

Annamaria Clementi is bright straw yellow due to the texture of the very fine and very dense perlage. On the nose, it is relaxing, with fragrant notes of citrus, white flowers and spices. In the mouth, it is savoury and of important structure. To be tasted and tried on its own, and then paired with salmon tataki and ponzu sauce.
