In Franciacorta, "Satèn" refers to a wine made exclusively from Chardonnay and characterised by a gentler carbonation, which gives the wine its unmistakable creaminess. For the "61 Satèn", the grapes come from selected Chardonnay plots that offer optimal ripeness and aromatic richness. Following gentle pressing, the base wine is aged partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in wood, before maturing on the lees for at least 24 months.

In the glass, a delicate straw-yellow colour with the finest, persistent bubbles. On the nose, white flowers, ripe pear, citrus cream and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, silky and supple, with harmonious acidity, delicate fruit depth and a subtle nutty undertone. The final is long, soft and accented with minerality. A Satèn that combines elegance, finesse and distinctive character – ideal for special occasions and fine dining. SUPERIORE.DE

"A bright, luminous golden yellow. Delicate on the nose, with aromas of yellow apple, toasted bread, subtle hints of vanilla and citrus zest, underpinned by a subtle exotic note. Very juicy on the palate, with a creamy, silky mouthfeel and soft effervescence. Very harmonious and persistent on final." Falstaff

"A fragrant wine with aromas of green apples, pears, lemons, white flowers and orange blossom. Soft and smooth, with fine bubbles, it is refreshing and lemony, with subtle notes of pastry." James Suckling

"A fine, softly creamy mousse supports delicate notes of ripe apricot, pear and melon fruit, apple blossoms and ground ginger, while a delicate frame of mouthwatering acidity provides fresh definition. Very pretty. Drink now." Wine Spectator
