Dosaggio Zero Classic Method by Decugnano dei Barbi is the best expression of Umbrian terroir, a refined product of the ancient sparkling wine tradition of this historic Orvieto winery. Presented in 2010 as an evolution of the famous house Brut, this sparkling wine is an expression of the production philosophy of a winery that has pursued perfection through territorial enhancement since 1973.

Artisanal Heritage and Ancient Caves

In the mysterious Etruscan caves beneath the hill of Decugnano, at a constant 13°C temperature, this precious Classic Method ages from equal parts of Chardonnay and Pinot Nero grapes. The entirely artisanal production features 42 months of aging on lees, riddling, and disgorgement performed solely by hand. The innovation in this zero dosage is the complete lack of sugar in the liqueur d'expedition, thus representing the pure authenticity of the terroir.

Marine Minerality and Ancient Seabed

The Pliocene terrain, rich in shells and sea fossils of three million years ago, provides that ultimate minerality and classic saltiness that makes one think of the ancient sea. An olfactory journey with each sip that leads us to the innermost part of Decugnano, with its salty aroma and peculiar character, testimony to a millennial history enclosed in the glass.

Recognized Excellence

Rated 94 points by Vinous for the 2019 vintage, this Dosaggio Zero represents the apex of Umbrian sparkling wine production. Refined, fresh, and with a fine and persistent perlage, it is perfect to be paired with special occasions, from tastings to gourmet aperitifs.
