Camilucci: Franciacorta Ammonites Zero Dosage DOCG

"Strict in respecting the terroir, unconventional in creating new aromatic blends" - Stefano Camilucci

This is Stefano's philosophy, whose portrait adorns every bottle, as the sketch of his head is the logo on all labels.

Here in Franciacorta, a small area in the foothills of the Alps, just a few kilometers from Lake Iseo and Brescia, in Lombardy, in the municipalities of Rodengo Saiano, Ome, Monticelli Brusati, and Gussago, with special microclimatic characteristics resembling the Mediterranean climate, this area is unique despite its location.

Right here lies the Camilucci winery amidst those gentle hills where vines have been growing for centuries, producing rare and high-quality products since ancient times.

In this region, the orographic features and special location create ideal climatic conditions for growing grapes with a distinctive aromatic bouquet, especially Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, and Pinot Nero, which are rich in scents and flavors.

As a result of centuries of cultivation knowledge and the skill of master winemakers, Camilucci's Franciacorta embodies the essence of the region's winemaking tradition in every drop, without forgetting the family winemaking heritage that Stefano Camilucci has passionately inherited. To the traditional savoir-faire, Stefano adds his personal touch: innovation and experimenting with new harmonious combinations to make the nectar of his grape varieties unique and captivating.

All wines are aged only in steel tanks to prevent oxidation, and nowadays only zero dosage wines (i.e., without added sugar) are vinified.

I personally met Stefano years ago at ProWein and was already impressed by the wines back then. Now in 2026, the opportunity has finally arisen to include these wines in the range.

It's worth trying!
