At the end of the 1990s, then twenty year old Andrea Arici decided to recover some old terraced vineyards owned by the family and left to the wild for years. With the kind help of his father Francis, Andrea systematically refurbished the vineyard and brought it back into production.
The wines are an expression of that land, composed mainly of active lime that is fast draining and capable of providing deep minerality and flavor to the wines. Andrea is the only winemaker who produces exclusively Franciacorta ‘not measured’ (Zero Dosage) capable of expressing the characteristics of that land, worked by him daily and with enthusiasm, with full respect of the vibrant natural environment alive and flourishing around the vineyards.
