Ferghettina Franciacorta Saten Brut Docg 2016

Franciacorta Saten embodies the elegance and creaminess of the finest and most delicate vineyards in the company's viticultural panorama. We select for the cuvee of this Franciacorta the Chardonnays coming from 20 different vineyards located in 6 municipalities of Franciacorta.

Winemaking

The whole bunch grapes are pressed with a pneumatic press at very delicate pressures. During vinification the musts are separated into two fractions: free-run must, which has the best qualitative characteristics and which is used for the production of Franciacorta and second pressing must which is not intended for bottling. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out in steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 16 and 18 °C. The base wine rests in the tank until the spring following the harvest.
