Contadi Castaldi Franciacorta Saten
Satèn Franciacorta DOCG by Contadi Castaldi inspires with its fragrant freshness. In the glass, Satèn Franciacorta presents itself with a fine and long-lasting light straw yellow perlage.
On the nose, refreshing aromas of hawthorn, bread crust, with balsamic nuances unfold, as well as notes of apple renette, dried figs and peanuts.
On the palate, this elegant spumante is smooth, silky, melting but not sweet, fresh and attractive on the palate, the finish is long, exceptionally tasty and persistent.
For this sparkling wine, only Chardonnay is vinified from selected grapes from the Franciacorta vineyards. The grapes are picked at the end of August, beginning of September. After a simple pressing and cold static decantation, alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts for a period of 20 days, followed by partial malolactic fermentation. The first aging of the wine takes place for 7 months, partly in stainless steel and partly in barrels, after which the wine is placed in the bottle for fermentation in the bottle on the fine lees, which lasts between 30 and 36 months. After disgorging, the sparkling wine is kept in the bottle for another 3 or 4 months before going on sale.
