Franciacorta Brut Saten Montina

Spumante Franciacorta Brut Saten Montina announces itself from the first moments guiding the tasting with one characteristic, softness. In fact, one is immediately enveloped by a creamy, almost tactile perlage that pampers the palate thanks to a fresh sip, while on the nose the aromatic array of scents develops with linearity and precision, without eagerness. A centered label that testifies to how well the winery has done in basing the focus of its range on bubbles: a must try.

This Franciacorta Brut Saten Montina originates from pure Chardonnay grapes grown in some of the winery's best estate vineyards, connoted by an advanced average plant age. The proximity to Lake Iseo influences the microclimate that expands between the rows, where the Chardonnay grows with the guyot system. The must, after an initial fermentation in steel tanks, re-ferments a second time in the bottle, following the production principles of the Metodo Classico. The sparkling wine then remains on the lees for 30 months to mature in the bottle; at the end of this period La Montina continues with disgorging, dosage and bottling operations.

Brut Franciacorta Montina announces itself to the eye with a concentrated color, reminiscent of a straw-yellow hue. The perlage has a fine grain, endowed with good persistence and effervescence. Refined and subtle is the panorama of scents that envelops the nose, at first on fruity notes and then on vegetal hints and slight spicy references. Medium-bodied in the mouth, with a pleasantly velvety, almost dense sip, enhanced by a savory taste that becomes evident as the drink unfolds. An excellently made Lombard bubbly, ideal when you want to toast with a sparkling wine from Franciacorta.
