ADDITIONAL NOTES: no other Italian sparkling wine can be as smooth and velvety as Satén, in franciacorta. It is, wanting to try to make a comparison, a metodo classico that follows in the footsteps of French crémants. A sparkling wine that therefore in the first phase of fermentation remains for less time in contact with the yeasts and, as a result, is slightly less frizzante and with a more delicate TASTING NOTES than the classico brut. An inimitable Franciacorta that stands out for this being persuasive and satisfying.
BOXED: NO
Allergens: contains sulfites
