Donna Cora Saten Franciacorta 0.75 2015

Vinification

The whole cluster Chardonnay grapes were given a soft and delicate pressing.

The finest part of the must, i.e. the first pressing, was first fermented both in

stainless steel tanks and in small oak barrels. Towards the spring of the following year,

the wine underwent a second fermentation, this time in bottle, and remained on its

lees for a period of 48 months.

Tasting Notes

Straw yellow in color with light golden highlights, the wine shows a

creamy bubbling with light but continuous bubbles. The aromas are

delicate with floral and white fruit notes. The palate is balanced and

harmonious, that of an elegant wine of class and breed. The ideal

serving temperature for the wine is between 45° and 50° Fahrenheit

(7°-9° centigrade). Matches with food and occasions for drinking:

Particularly suitable as an aperitif with light appetizers or pasta

with fish sauces, baked or roasted fish, or white meat.

Historical Data

near Lake Iseo in the heart of the Franciacorta appellation.

family have been the heart of the production of Marchese
