About this wine
An elegant Franciacorta Saten from one of the appellation's most celebrated organic estates, made exclusively from Chardonnay using the traditional method and bottle-ageing for a minimum of 24 months to develop its signature creamy, silky character.
Serve well chilled at 6 to 8°C. Best enjoyed in a wide-mouthed wine glass to appreciate the full aromatic complexity.
Tasting notes
Pale gold with delicate, persistent bubbles and a beautiful creamy mousse. The nose is refined and complex with aromas of white peach, pear, almond blossom, brioche, and a fine chalky mineral note. On the palate it is silky and enveloping, with a gentle pressure from the lower carbonation of the Saten style, excellent freshness, and a long, elegant, toasty finish. Italy's finest answer to Blanc de Blancs Champagne.
Goes with
Outstanding as an aperitif and excellent alongside risotto, grilled fish, seafood, and mild cheeses. The Saten style's creaminess also works beautifully with rich, buttery dishes.
