Muratori's Numero Zero Pas Dosé. Chardonnay-led with 36 months on lees and no dosage from the Arcipelago Muratori project at Adro.

What it pairs with

  • Oysters mignonette
    Zero dosage and chalky minerality mirror the briny shellfish; high acidity carries the vinegar mignonette.
  • Sashimi
    Low alcohol and saline minerality keep the focus on raw fish; lemon pith echoes the rice vinegar.
  • Capesante in conchiglia
    Pan-seared scallops find a foil in the wine's patisserie cream and saline finish.

Frequently asked about Muratori Numero Zero Pas Dosé

What does Muratori Numero Zero taste like?

Is Muratori organic?

Yes. Muratori holds organic certification at Adro as part of the Arcipelago Muratori sustainable viticulture project.
