What wine is Franciacorta DOCG Satèn 2021 - Gatti
Franciacorta DOCG Satèn 2021 - Gatti is a classic method sparkling wine, meaning it is produced through re-fermentation in the bottle, just like Champagne. It originates in the heart of Franciacorta, in the province of Brescia, from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in the hilly vineyards of Erbusco, where calcareous soils and a temperate microclimate allow for wines of the finest elegance. The Satèn version is distinguished by a lower bottle pressure compared to other Franciacorta wines, which results in a creamier mousse and a pleasantly silky sensation on the palate.Vintage Details
The 2021 harvest in Franciacorta was characterized by balanced climatic conditions: a mild spring, a dry summer with ideal temperature fluctuations for perfect grape ripening. Optimal conditions allowed for a harvest of healthy and aromatically complex Chardonnay, enhancing the natural fineness that distinguishes the Gatti winery's Satèn.Winemaking and Aging
Franciacorta DOCG Satèn 2021 - Gatti is vinified strictly following the Classic Method. After a first fermentation in steel, the base wines rest for several months before the prise de mousse, which is the second fermentation in the bottle. Aging on the lees lasts about 32 months, a crucial phase that gives complexity and roundness. After disgorgement, the wine rests for a few more months in the cellar to achieve perfect taste harmony.Tasting Notes
