Arcari + Danesi Franciacorta e SoloUva

The tasting includes three different expressions of Franciacorta, all vintage and produced according to the SoloUVA method, meaning no added sugars, with long yeast fermentation, from a single year and a single harvest, followed by further aging in the bottle after disgorgement. The Franciacorta wines in the tasting represent our current production: Dosage Zero – our must-have, produced every year, the purest expression of the SoloUVA Method. Satèn – probably the most representative wine of our production: the first Franciacorta made exclusively from grapes from the upper part of Monte Orfano, where our company is located. Extra Brut Coro delle Monache – the most unique wine we produce at the moment: vintage 2015, 100% Pinot Noir vinified in white, with a yeast aging of 72 months. The tasting is preceded by a vineyard walk, weather permitting, to tell you about the peculiarities of the area and the territory where the Arcari + Danesi vineyards grow, on the hill of Monte Orfano. You can request a visit even if not already scheduled, for groups of a minimum of 4 people. When Weekdays: only in the morning at 10:00 AM, based on calendar availability.

SoloUva was born as a project dedicated exclusively to a production method that does not involve the use of exogenous sugars, neither for the sparkling process nor for disgorgement. We produce Franciacorta DOCG and sparkling wines (Open) as a direct and immediate expression of this production philosophy. The SoloUva vineyards are located in the heart of Franciacorta, in the Municipality of Adro, on the hills of the morainic amphitheater, a central area of our territory, and since 2020 we have been managing 4 hectares of Pinot Noir vineyard in Borgo Priolo (Pv). The wines produced are non-vintage and represent a true identity card of the SoloUVA method, a business card designed to clearly, accessibly, and coherently tell its principles. The tasting includes four wines, all produced according to the SoloUVA Method, without external sugars or yeasts, with spontaneous fermentations and grapes exclusively from our vineyards. Franciacorta Brut – 100% Chardonnay, a fresh and balanced expression of the SoloUVA Method. Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero – 100% Chardonnay, a more essential and direct version, without any sugar addition. Franciacorta Rosé – 100% Pinot Noir, vertical, structured, and distinctive. Open – 100% Pinot Noir, sparkling wine obtained from grapes from our vineyards in Oltrepo. The tasting is preceded, weather permitting, by a walk in the vineyard, to tell the landscape context and the territory. It is possible to request the visit even if not already scheduled, for groups of at least 4 people.

This tasting is designed to delve into Pinot Noir as the sole grape protagonist, observing how, from the same grape variety, sparkling wines can emerge that are profoundly different in style, origin, and oenological interpretation. A tasting journey dedicated to those who wish to understand the different expressions of sparkling Pinot Noir, always according to our production philosophy, without sugars or exogenous yeasts, allowing the grape, time, and territory to speak. Open – 100% Pinot Noir, Zero Dosage, vinified in white. The grapes come from SoloUva vineyards in Oltrepò Pavese: an essential and direct sparkling wine that highlights the freshness and precision of Pinot Noir vinified in white. Franciacorta Rosé – 100% Pinot Noir, vinified in rosé, by SoloUva. The grapes come from our vineyards in Franciacorta, in the Municipality of Adro. A wine that expresses the structure and personality of Pinot Noir through skin contact and greater aromatic complexity. Franciacorta “Coro delle Monache” – 100% Pinot Noir, vintage 2015, vinified in white. Our most profound and meditative wine, characterized by a long aging on the lees and an additional period of evolution in the bottle after disgorgement. A Franciacorta of great tension and elegance, showcasing the longevity potential of Pinot Noir. Three sparkling wines, one grape: different interpretations, territories, and aging times, for a tasting journey that compares styles and identities starting from a single variety.
