Chiaretto Spumante Metodo Classico - Dosaggio Zero - Gentili

Gentili’s Bardolino Chiaretto Spumante Metodo Classico Dosaggio Zero is one of those wines that deeply surprise even the most experienced palates - because anyone expecting the fruity lightness of a still Chiaretto will encounter something completely different: a rosé vinified with the rigor and complexity of the Metodo Classico, with no sugar added at disgorgement.

Gentili is a producer from Lake Garda that had the courage to apply the method of secondary fermentation in the bottle - the same method used for Champagne and Franciacorta - to a grape variety and territory traditionally associated with fresh, immediate wines. Corvina and Rondinella grapes, vinified as rosé with brief maceration on the skins, produce a base wine with remarkable freshness and natural acidity, perfect for supporting the extended lees aging required by the Metodo Classico.

Dosaggio Zero - the purest and most austere version among Metodo Classico wines, with no addition of liqueur d'expédition - heightens the wine’s acidic tension and minerality, making it exceptionally dry, precise, and vertical. On the nose, it is elegant and surprising: fresh red berries (wild strawberry, raspberry), rose blossoms, citrus, bread crust, and yeast - the unmistakable aroma of a great Metodo Classico. On the palate, it is vibrant, with an exceptionally fine and persistent perlage, an almost razor-sharp acidity, and a long, savory finish. A wine for contemplation as much as for a luxurious aperitif.

One of the most original and daring products in the entire Emporio Divino selection - for those who love sparkling wines and want to discover something that exists nowhere else.
