Franciacorta Saten Millesimato
Grape Variety: 100% Chardonnay – organic method
Production Area: Hilly terrain located on Montorfano, in one of the most characteristic and beautiful areas of Franciacorta, in the municipality of Cologne (BS).
Production Technique: Unlike other Franciacorta wines, it is obtained by softly pressing only white grapes. The must used represents only a small percentage of the pressing, specifically the first pressing and the initial pressing. A lower sugar content during bottling (18 g/l instead of 24 g/l) results in a different secondary fermentation, resulting in lower pressure in the bottle and a creamier, silkier wine.
Color: Straw yellow with golden reflections.
Perlage: Persistent, very fine, and abundant.
Aroma: Ample and complex with light notes of exotic fruit.
Flavor: Creamy, mellow, and with a strong minerality.
Aging: From 90 months on the lees
Winemaker’s recommendation: Serve at around 8-10°C in a good-sized, thin glass.
It pairs beautifully with any meal, except dessert.
