JAMES SUCKLING
On the nose, notes of mango and papaya provide a balanced counterpoint to those of brioche and shortcrust pastry. On the palate it is complex and balanced, ending with hints of cedar with the pleasantness of the very fine perlage.

GRAPES
100% Chardonnay, coming from the most suitable vineyards of the 19 municipalities of Franciacorta.

SURRENDER
9,000 kg of grapes per hectare, with a must yield of 55%, equivalent to 6,600 bottles per hectare.

WINEMAKING
Soft and progressive pressing of the bunches with fractionation of the musts; alcoholic fermentation in steel vats.

MATURATION
Preparation of the cuvée in the spring following the harvest, with the addition of 10% reserve wines aged in barriques and tonneaux. Second fermentation in the bottle and subsequent refinement in contact with its own yeasts for at least 24 months, followed by another two months after disgorgement. The lower overpressure in the bottle (5 final atm), characteristic of the Satèn type, gives elegant creaminess.
