This Ferghettina Franciacorta Satèn is produced 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. The soft pressing of the grapes yields the must, of which only the so-called "flower" must, i.e., that resulting from the first pressing, will undergo fermentation. Secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle, followed by 24 months of aging on the lees, plus another 2 months after disgorgement.

Tasting Notes:

In the glass, it is a beautiful luminous yellow, adorned with a fine and persistent perlage. It expresses all its elegance in a creamy and delicate aroma, with notes of almond and sweet pastry. The taste is composed and pleasant, supported by a subtle effervescence.

Pairings:

Fabulous with fish crudités, sushi, and sashimi, it pairs well with shellfish and light appetizers based on cured meats.
