Franciacorta Brut Satèn 2020

Satèn is a type of sparkling wine exclusive to Franciacorta. The Franciacortas Satèn aims at being as soft as silk; they have a lower pressure in the bottle, that is to say a more delicate fizziness and are produced only with white grapes, which make the sparkling wine elegant and light. Ferghettina’s Franciacorta Satèn is produced with only Chardonnay from 20 different vineyards, grown organically in the heart of the Franciacorta area. It is made in a vintage version, selecting only the best grapes of the last harvest, in this case of 2018. The 3-year aging on the lees in the bottle creates complexity and finesse and makes this Franciacorta by Ferghettina extremely attractive.

Whole bunches are pressed, following the practice used in Champagne. Only the free-run must from the first pressing is fermented in steel vats to produce the base wines. After some months, the cuvée is created. The second fermentation occurs in the bottle according to the Traditional Method. The sparkling wine ages on the lees for 36 months, one year longer than required by the production regulations.
