Franciacorta Satèn Martignac

Franciacorta Satèn, made from gently pressed Chardonnay grapes, is characterized by a pressure of less than 5 atmospheres, giving it its distinctive softness and harmony. After the initial fermentation of the must in stainless steel tanks and small oak barrels, the cuvée is prepared. Secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle, followed by a minimum of 24 months of ageing on the lees. After disgorgement, a dosage liqueur made from Franciacorta base wine and sugar is added. The amount of sugar in the dosage liqueur determines the sweetness style of the Franciacorta. Satèn may only be produced in the Brut style.
