Sparkling white wine from Italy with the scent of fresh fruit and toast. Thanks to the dry elegant taste delicious as an aperitif with amuses. Also delicious with seafood.

Description

Franciacorta is generally regarded as the top sparkling wine in Italy. The wine region is located south of Lake Iseo and in the area of northern Italian Bergamo. The quality of most wines is excellent. Although Franciacorta is mainly sold in Italy, some producers are also requested outside Italy due to their high quality. A good example is Villa, which is considered to be one of the best. The beautiful mild-tasting Satèn (less powerful bubbles than Brut Franciacorta) is made exclusively from chardonnay grapes that are grown entirely organically. After the manual picking, the grapes are fermented for the first time. This is followed by bottling in the spring with a second fermentation and maturing of at least 30 months in the bottle.
