After fermentation in steel, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle according to the Metodo Classico, with a very long period on the lees: a full 142 months, or almost 12 years. This extraordinary aging enriches the wine with complexity and depth of flavor, giving it toasted notes, great elegance, and a very fine perlage.

Smell the glass to check for aromatic cleanliness, then take a small sip to ensure there are no defects or excessive oxidation.

5. Decanting and oxygenation

Despite being a traditional method sparkling wine, the long aging on the lees gives this Franciacorta complexity and structure. It can benefit from brief oxygenation. To do this:

  • Gently pour the wine into a decanter or a large tulip-shaped glass.
  • Let it rest for 5-10 minutes, so that the aromas of yeast, candied citrus, and dried fruit fully open up.

Avoid shaking the wine, so as not to disperse the natural effervescence and maintain the perfect taste balance.

6. Serving

Serve Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero Riserva DOCG 'CR143' 2009 - Camossi in large, flared glasses, which allow the aromas to express themselves best. Fill them to about one-third of their capacity, leaving space for the perlage to form and for the natural oxygenation of the wine during tasting.

Once opened, the bottle can maintain its freshness for up to 24 hours if re-sealed with a suitable sparkling wine stopper and placed in the refrigerator. To store it best:

  • Avoid exposure to heat sources or direct light.
  • Store the bottle in an upright position.

After this time, the wine will tend to lose some of its effervescence and complexity, but it can still offer an interesting tasting experience.
