Sparkling Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

Franciacorta Brut Satèn shows an intense straw yellow color and nuances of straw yellow, very transparent, fine and persistent perlage. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas which start with hints of banana, bread crust and yeast followed by aromas of grapefruit, hazelnut, plum, citrus fruits, praline, apple and hints of vanilla. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, an effervescent and crisp attack, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, pleasing roundness. The finish is persistent with flavors of banana, apple and plum. Franciacorta Brut Satèn referments in bottle on its lees for 36 months. A part of the base wine ages in barrique.
