In the Cellar

After a gentle pressing to extract only the free-run juice, a portion of the Chardonnay ferments in thermo-conditioned stainless steel tanks for approximately 8 months, while the second portion undergoes fermentation in small oak barrels. The two wines are expertly blended after maturation. During the tirage (second fermentation in the bottle), a controlled amount of syrup is added to reduce pressure development. The wine then ages on the lees for over 30 months, determining the vintage.

Tasting Notes

Franciacorta Satèn stands out with its brilliant straw yellow color, illuminated in the glass. The nose is delicate, with floral notes being the main characteristic. Light toasty notes also emerge, creating a highly complex aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine exhibits good acidity and is supported by a significant structure.
