Orchard fruits lead with soft pear, green apple, and underripe plum, backed up by fresh brioche and notes of Rich Tea biscuits. A generous helping of crisp lemon and sweeter, candied orange lift things throughout.

The Villa Crespia winery in Italy is dedicated to sustainably producing the Franciacorta style of sparkling wine, using grapes grown in its organic vineyards in the DOCG-protected region. This expression is made with chardonnay grapes, fermented in stainless steel tanks, and rested for 7-8 months, followed by refermentation and maturation in the bottle for a further 36 months. An elegant effervescence and creamy, fruity profile will make this a splendid option to accompany aperitifs and seafood salads.

Producer Information

Since its foundation in 1999, Villa Crespia has always been dedicated to the production of Franciacorta wine, using grapes from the familys own vineyards. The vineyards are located in each of the six dedicated areas of Franciacorta. Villa Crespia manages its vineyards using organic methods and is self-sufficient in energy thanks to its photovoltaic system. NumeroZero Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero is the companys most representative wine. Dosage Zero means that during disgorging, topping up is done with the same wine, so no sugar or liqueur are added. Dosage Zero is therefore the most authentic interpretation of the soil. Three of Villa Crespias ten Franciacorta wines are Dosaggio Zero (no dosage): NumeroZero, Cisiolo Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero and Riserva del Gelso Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero. Seven years ago, Mill was developed, which was presented for the first time at Vinitaly 2015 with Millesimo 2007. Over the years, the 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 vintages have followed, and the 2014 vintage celebrating Mills seventh birthday has just been released.
