The denomination for this sensational wine from the cellar Cà del Bosco is that of Franciacorta Saten Millesimato DOCG. The blend is composed of predominantly Chardonnay vines, 85%, to which is added 15% Pinot Blanc. The origin of the 14 Chardonnay vineyards with an average age of 34 years falls in the administrative territories of Erbusco, Adro, Cazzago San Martino, Corte Franca and Passirano. The 2 Pinot Bianco vineyards with an average age of 26 years are located in the municipality of Passirano. The vinification for all Franciacorta Vintage Collections is the result of a careful selection of the grapes and skilful vinification conducted in full compliance with the Ca' del Bosco Method. The grapes, freshly harvested by hand in small boxes, are classified and cooled. Each bunch is selected by expert eyes and hands, to then benefit from exclusive "berry spas". A particular washing and hydromassage system for the bunches, using three soaking tanks and a drying tunnel. After pressing in the absence of oxygen, all the base wine musts ferment in small oak barrels. To seek maximum aromatic complexity and expressive power, without losing elegance, the barrel aging has a duration of only 5 months. A pair of flying tanks allows the wines to be transferred by gravity, from small barrels to aging tanks. 7 months after the harvest, the cuvée is created. The Vintage Collection Satèn is the result of a skilful union of 16 base wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc. The addition of sugars in smaller quantities than other Franciacortas gives it creaminess and a particular profile, elegant and soft, further strengthened by long refinement in the bottle. Dégorgement occurs in the absence of oxygen, using a system unique in the world, designed and patented by Ca' del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shock and further additions of sulphites, making our Franciacorta purer, more pleasant and longer-lived. Finally, each packaged bottle is uniquely marked to ensure traceability.
