Produced using the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is characterised by reduced pressure in the bottle, which gives it a \u003cstrong\u003esoft and silky texture\u003c\/strong\u003e. The bright glass reveals a fine and persistent perlage, heralding a complex bouquet. On the nose, notes of pastry, meringue, white fruit and candied citrus emerge, with hints of almond. On the palate, it is creamy and elegant, supported by a \u003cstrong\u003evibrant savoury freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e that leads to a long, citrusy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt originates in the renowned \u003cstrong\u003eFranciacorta\u003c\/strong\u003e area, from selected grapes in twenty vineyards spread across six municipalities, including Adro. The vines, cultivated at two hundred and fifty metres above sea level using the Guyot system, are rooted in \u003cstrong\u003emorainic soils\u003c\/strong\u003e. This geology imparts a distinct mineral character and a savouriness that balances the natural softness of the sip. The influence of Lake Iseo ensures a \u003cstrong\u003etemperate and breezy microclimate\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for guiding \u003cstrong\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e towards optimal ripeness, preserving its essential aromatic freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins in mid-August with \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by gentle pressing of whole bunches to extract only the free-run must. The first fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature: most of the wine matures in steel, while a small portion is refined in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e to broaden the aromatic profile. In spring, the wine is bottled for the prise de mousse. This is followed by \u003cstrong\u003ethirty-six months of ageing on the lees\u003c\/strong\u003e, a crucial stage for developing the deep complexity of flavour and the creamy finesse typical of the Satèn style.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn on the morainic hills of Adro, tempered by the influence of Lake Iseo, this Franciacorta has reflected the expertise of the Gatti family since 1996. Made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, the \u003cstrong\u003eSatèn Brut\u003c\/strong\u003e stands out for its unique \u003cstrong\u003esquare bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e: a shape designed to increase the contact surface during the 36 months of ageing on the lees, thus maximising aromatic richness. The lower pressure gives a \u003cstrong\u003esilky texture\u003c\/strong\u003e, with pastry notes and a citrus finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ferghettina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46454737600683,"sku":"61174","price":31.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/ferghettina-franciacorta-saten-brut-2022_61174_1_0149557b-41f8-4159-8d78-fefeaa471451.webp?v=1776435303","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/ferghettina-franciacorta-saten-brut-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
