The \u003cstrong\u003eSatèn\u003c\/strong\u003e style is a particular type of Franciacorta made exclusively from white grapes and characterized by a softer foam and lower pressure, which give a velvety and creamy sensation on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 vintage was balanced and favorable: after a mild winter and a regular spring, the Chardonnay grapes reached perfect ripeness, ensuring harmonious acidity and aromatics.

This is followed by aging for at least \u003cstrong\u003e36 months on the lees\u003c\/strong\u003e, which imparts complexity, balance, and a fine and persistent perlage.
