Berlucchi Franciacorta Franco Ziliani Dosaggio Zero Riserva 2011

Berlucchi Franciacorta Franco Ziliani Dosaggio Zero Riserva 2011 is a rare and highly collectible expression of one of Italy’s most celebrated sparkling wine houses. Released in a strictly limited edition, it pays tribute to Franco Ziliani’s 90th birthday and the 60th anniversary of Franciacorta, combining Chardonnay purity with the precision and elegance that have made Berlucchi a benchmark in the region.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a rich golden-yellow color with a lively shimmer, hinting at both maturity and energy. The nose opens with layered aromas of yellow fruit, pastry, and candied orange, giving the wine a refined, almost celebratory character. On the palate, it is wonderfully fresh and clean, with impressive structure, vibrant acidity, and a saline finish that adds length and definition. The dosage zero style keeps the profile taut and focused, while its depth suggests excellent aging potential for those who enjoy mature Franciacorta.

Production
The grapes come from the finest parcels of the Arzelle vineyard in Lombardy’s Franciacorta zone, an area known for its mineral-rich soils and ideal conditions for premium sparkling wine production. Made entirely from Chardonnay, this Riserva is crafted with careful selection of fruit and traditional method vinification to preserve finesse, complexity, and natural freshness. The limited production and extended aging underline its status as a serious, terroir-driven wine.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as seafood, shellfish, poached white fish, risotto with herbs, or elegant poultry preparations. It also works well with aged hard cheeses and delicate cured meats. Serve chilled at 8–10°C, and consider brief decanting only if the wine shows particularly youthful reduction; otherwise, open and enjoy from the bottle to preserve its fine mousse and freshness.

Producer
Berlucchi Guido is one of the most important names in Italian sparkling wine, widely recognized as a pioneer in the creation and promotion of Franciacorta. The house played a defining role in establishing the region’s reputation for world-class méthode classique wines and has remained a leading force ever since. Berlucchi’s achievements include some of the most iconic bottlings in Franciacorta, and its dedication to quality continues to shape the region’s identity.
