Grapes: 100% Chardonnay vinified in oak barrels.
Vineyards: Franciacorta (BS) in the municipalities of Capriolo and Iseo.
Production cycle: Fermentation in oak barrels is followed, in spring, by tirage with the beginning of a slow secondary fermentation in the bottle according to the traditional Franciacorta method. The bottles remain in the stacks for at least 40 months (48 months in total from harvest), ensuring the unmistakable bouquet created by contact with and autolysis of the yeasts. After disgorgement, with the addition of a very dry dosage syrup (4 g/liter), the Franciacorta undergoes further cellaring for several months.
Color: Clear and bright straw yellow.
Aroma: The nose presents a significant presence of ripe, dense, and dense fruity notes, interspersed with spicy and yeasty aromas reminiscent of biscuity and almond notes.
Flavor: Extremely elegant, it offers the same olfactory sensations on the palate, supported by body and structure, enlivened by a light acidity.
Alcohol content: 12.5% ??vol.
Bottle storage: Store horizontally in a dark, cool, dry place.
Serving suggestions: Serve at 10°C, preferably in a bucket with water and ice, uncorking the bottle just before serving and using slender, not too narrow glasses.
Food pairings: It pairs well with any meal, from aperitifs to cheeses; ideal with fish and white meats.
Interesting fact: The Satèn variety, reserved exclusively for Franciacorta, takes its name from the silk once produced here. Like silk, it is "soft" (round) and "with fabric" (firm or full-bodied). These two adjectives describe the magic of Franciacorta Satèn Brut.
