In Franciacorta, Satèn stands for pure Chardonnay and a softer carbonic acidity, which gives the wine its unmistakable creaminess. The grapes for the '61 Satèn come from selected Chardonnay parcels that offer optimum ripeness and aromatic fullness. After gentle pressing, the base wine is matured partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in wood before maturing on the lees for at least 24 months. Delicate straw yellow in the glass with a fine, persistent perlage. White flowers, ripe pear, citrus cream and a hint of vanilla on the nose. Silky and smooth on the palate, with harmonious acidity, fine fruit depth and a subtle nutty undertone. The final is long, soft and mineral-accentuated. A Satèn that combines elegance, finesse and style – ideal for special moments and fine cuisine. SUPERIORE.DE

"Zesty citrus nose, ample lime, grapefruit and hints of honey on a layered, lively palate with long, flinty and bread crust finish." Decanter

"The Franciacorta Brut Satèn '61 mixes gingery spice with hints of iodine and crushed pears. Vibrantly ripe orchard fruits combine with salty mineral tones over a bead of silken bubbles. A citrus twang enlivens the senses as it tapers off with admirable length, leaving the senses salivating." Vinous
