Awarded for six consecutive years from 2001 to 2006 with the Cinque Grappoli by the Italian Sommelier Association, Satèn Brut is the maximum expression of the typicality and harmony of Franciacorta.
Named best Italian wine for quality/price ratio by AIS in 2003 and crowned best Lombardy wine by AIS Lombardia in 2007.
Three Gambero Rosso Glasses in 2019 and 2020
Characterized by lower pressure in the bottle (maximum 5.0 atm) which guarantees a perlage of extreme finesse, persistence and softness.
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 draft with the start of a slow refermentation in the bottle according to the traditional Franciacorta method. The bottles remain in the stack for at least 40 months (total 48 months from the harvest), guaranteeing the unmistakable bouquet due to the contact and autolysis of the yeasts. After disgorgement, with the addition of a very dry dosage syrup (7 g/litre), Franciacorta undergoes further refinement in the cellar for a few months.
Color: straw yellow, clear and shiny.
Perfume: on the nose it presents a significant presence of ripe, thick and dense fruity notes, on which spicy and yeasty aromas are inserted which recall biscuit and almond notes.
Taste: of great elegance, it offers the same olfactory sensations supported by body and structure, enlivened by a slight acidity.
Alcohol content: 12.5% vol.
Storage of the bottles: lying down, in the dark, in a dry and cool place.
Service: serve at 10° C, preferably in a bucket with water and ice, uncorking the bottle when serving and using slender and not too narrow glasses.
Gastronomy: accompanies the entire meal, from the aperitif to the cheeses; ideal with fish and white meats.
Curiosity: the Satèn type reserved only for Franciacorta took its name from the silk, once produced here, and like silk it is "soft" (round) and "with fabric", (consistent or full-bodied), in the two adjectives it is described all the magic of Franciacorta Satèn Brut.
