Vinification of the Bellavista Vendemmia Satèn Brut Franciacorta by Bellavista

For this seductive Blanc de Blanc Franciacorta 100% Chardonnay are vinified. First vinified in Italy in 1984 entirely from white grapes, in keeping with the ancient tradition of "blanc de blanc" sparkling wines, this sparkling wine presents the elegant and delicate soul of the Franciacorta terroir. The grapes come exclusively from vineyards located in the best areas of the region, to the east, on high hills facing the morning sun. If the vintage and the harvest show the characteristics of this exceptional cuvée, then the grapes are selected with the greatest care and according to the best Bellavista tradition, the base wine is matured in small white oak barrels and composed before fermentation in the bottle in such a way that the remarkable finesse and exquisite elegance are best expressed. The Satèn matures at least 5 years from the harvest year in the cellars of the winery.
Like every rarity, the Satèn is produced in very limited quantities.
