More questions
The Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero DOCG by Santus is born in the dedicated lands of Franciacorta, one of the most prestigious areas of Lombardy for the production of Classic Method sparkling wines. Made with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, this wine stands out for the total absence of added sugars in the dosage, which enhances the purity and freshness of the terroir. After a long fermentation in the bottle and aging on the lees that exceeds 30 months, it presents itself with fine and persistent perlage.
On the nose, it releases intense aromas of white-fleshed fruit, brioche notes, and a mineral hint that evokes the sensations of the limestone soil. The sip is dry, vibrant, with a perfect balance between acidity and structure, offering pleasant sapidity and an elegant finish.
Perfect to accompany seafood dishes based on raw or delicately cooked fish, it also proves excellent with light appetizers and fresh cheeses.

The story
Cantina Santi was founded as a winery in Illasi and has been present in Valpolicella since the 19th century. During the 20th century the Santi family introduced technical innovations and progressively focused on high-end wines; in 1974 the winery became part of Gruppo Italiano Vini, which reinforced investments and facilities while preserving its local identity.
Production philosophy
Santi claims a style tied to the sense of place of Valpolicella: it favors the predominant use of Corvina in its selections, aging in large traditional casks, and the use of local woods to enhance the aromatic qualities typical of native grape varieties. The approach combines oenological research with respect for local practices.
Terroir and vineyards
Santi's vineyards and selections are concentrated in Val d'Illasi and the classic areas of Valpolicella, using a vineyard-selection approach across different exposures and microclimates to produce wines that reflect the local terroir. The winery also works with vineyards in other Veronese appellations such as Soave, Bardolino and Lugana.
