Franciacorta Satèn DOCG Vintage Collection is the most feminine expression of the Ca' del Bosco family’s sparkling wines. A Franciacorta Satèn made exclusively from white grapes, which lend it creaminess and smoothness. The Vintage Collection is made from 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Bianco, sourced from 14 vineyards certified as organic. It is the result of a careful selection of grapes and skilful winemaking carried out in full accordance with the Ca' del Bosco method. The grapes, harvested in crates, are selected in the vineyard and in the cellar on a sorting table and cooled in the grape baths. After oxygen-free pressing, all the musts from the base wines ferment in small oak barrels for 5 months to achieve maximum aromatic complexity and expressive power. Ageing then continues on the lees for an average of 48 months; 7 months after the harvest, the cuvée is created. The Vintage Satèn Collection involves the addition of a smaller quantity of sugar compared to other Franciacortas, imparting a distinctive, elegant and smooth aromatic profile, further enhanced by a period of ageing on the lees in the bottle. Disgorgement takes place in the absence of oxygen, using a system unique in the world, devised and patented by Ca’ del Bosco, avoiding oxidative shock and further additions of sulphites. 100 ml: E=301 kJ/73 kcal
