This Franciacorta Satèn from Ferghettina is produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes harvested from 20 high-vocation vineyards located in 6 municipalities of the Franciacorta appellation.
The harvest begins in the second ten days of August and continues until the first week of September. From the soft pressing of the grapes, must is obtained, of which only the so-called "flower must," i.e., deriving from the first pressing, will undergo fermentation. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle, and the wine is aged for 24 months in contact with the lees, plus an additional 2 months after disgorgement.
In the glass, it is a beautiful luminous yellow, decorated by a fine and persistent perlage. It expresses all its elegance in a creamy and delicate olfactory profile, with notes of almond and sweet pastry. The taste is composed and pleasant, supported by a subtle effervescence.
Fabulous with fish crudités, sushi, and sashimi, it pairs well with crustaceans and light appetizers based on cold cuts.
