Franciacorta Satèn Vintage 2018
Chardonnay grapes come from some vineyards in the municipality of Cazzago San Martino on deep moraine soils. Franciacorta Satèn is by definition a blanc de blancs, that is produced only from white grapes and has a lower pressure in the bottle, that is to say a more delicate fizziness that recalls silk to the touch. Everything in the creation of the vintage Satèn of 1701 is characterized by elegance.
The harvest is manual. Each parcel is vinified separately. The base wines are obtained with a delicate pressure of the fresh grapes and a fermentation in steel of the free-run must at a controlled temperature with only spontaneous yeasts. The wines remain in steel until the blend is created. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the traditional method and the wine ages on the lees for over 30 months.
