Farfalla Zero Dosage is the fruit of the best expression of an iconic vine and an extraordinary terroir. Only Pinot Noir grapes from the company’s historic vineyards grown at over 400 meters above sea level on soils with a predominantly calcareous structure from by now ancient vines with low individual productions in small and compact clusters. Years of bottle aging to achieve a natural balance between the important acid structure, the austere body and palatal persistence.
