Description
What kind of wine is it
Franciacorta Saten Brut by 1701 is an organic Blanc de Blancs wine made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes. Crafted using the Traditional Method, it offers impeccable harmony between taste and aroma. It displays a straw yellow colour with golden highlights and a fine, elegant perlage. The fragrant bouquet of bread crust and pastry evolves into notes of chamomile and pear, with a finish of toasted hazelnut that precedes a soft, mature and enveloping palate.
Where does it come from
Produced in Franciacorta, this wine expresses the identity of the 1701 winery. The heart of the project is the historic walled vineyard Brolo, whose origins date back to the 11th century. The land is cultivated through careful organic and sustainable farming, aimed at protecting the soil. In this microclimate, Chardonnay develops a pronounced aromatic breadth, ensuring an ideal balance between freshness and natural roundness.
How is it produced
The process involves pure vinification of Chardonnay, followed by bottle refermentation as required by the Traditional Method. The long ageing on the lees, lasting thirty months, enhances the aromatic complexity and tactile smoothness. Disgorgement carried out without added sugars highlights the authenticity of the fruit, resulting in a Brut with a creamy sip where freshness is integrated with a structure of great balance.
History and Curiosities
Born in the historic walled vineyard “Brolo”, dating back to the 11th century, this Satèn Brut encapsulates the authentic soul of the 1701 Franciacorta winery.
