'Saten' Franciacorta DOCG Contadi Castaldi 2018

Saten Franciacorta Brut DOCG is an intriguing and refined sparkling wine, skilfully obtained from the historic Contadi Castaldi cellar. It comes to life on an area historically devoted to the production of great wines, namely Franciacorta. It is a mix of three different types of grapes, in which 80% goes to Chardonnay, while the remaining 20% is equally divided between Pinot Noir and White. The harvest already begins at the end of August and involves the manual selection of only the best bunches. After soft pressing and natural decanting of the must, selected yeasts are inoculated into the base wine. The fermentation of at least 20 days in steel tanks is then followed by an aging of 7 months, both in steel vats and in oak barriques. The disgorgement of the sparkling wine is carried out after 24 months, as per the regulations. Saten Franciacorta Brut DOCG is persistent and easy to drink, less aggressive in the bubble (hence the term Saten, silky), therefore much loved by the female public.
