Franciacorta Satèn Millesimato shows a brilliant 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, pear and bread crust followed by aromas of kiwi, yeast, acacia, pineapple, hazelnut, apple and pear. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, an effervescent and crisp attack, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, agreeable. The finish is persistent with flavors of banana, pear and kiwi. The base wine ferments in barrique. Franciacorta Satèn Millesimato referments in bottle on its lees for at least 30 months.
