1701 Franciacorta Satèn Brut 2021 is an elegant Blanc de Blancs made entirely from Chardonnay, showcasing the refined, silky style that has made Satèn one of Franciacorta’s most sought-after expressions. With its fine mousse and extended aging, it delivers impressive depth, balance, and a distinctly luxurious texture. Crafted in Lombardy, it reflects the prestige and tradition of Franciacorta sparkling wine at its best.
Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass with a persistent, ultra-fine perlage, this wine immediately signals finesse. The nose is delicate yet expressive, with notes of ripe citrus, white flowers, orchard fruit, and a subtle creamy, brioche-like nuance from aging.
On the palate, it is soft, mature, and beautifully rounded, with Chardonnay’s natural richness framed by freshness and precision. The texture is smooth and polished, carrying flavors of lemon zest, green apple, pear, and gentle pastry tones. It has the structure to age gracefully for several more years, gaining further complexity and depth over time.
Production
Produced in Franciacorta in Lombardy, this Satèn is made exclusively from Chardonnay, the classic white grape of the region’s finest sparkling wines. The style is defined by its gentle pressure and careful cellar work, which help create the refined, creamy mousse that sets Satèn apart. After fermentation and traditional bottle aging, the wine rests for 30 months, building richness, harmony, and intensity while preserving the elegance of the terroir.
Food & Serving
A superb match for shellfish, oysters, sushi, delicate fish, risotto, creamy pasta dishes, and refined poultry preparations. It also works beautifully as an aperitif when served well chilled, ideally at 8–10°C. Decanting is not recommended; simply open and serve to preserve its delicate mousse and freshness.
