Camilucci Franciacorta Saten Brut Ammonites

Camilucci Franciacorta Satèn Brut Ammonites is a refined expression of one of Italy’s most elegant sparkling wine styles. Crafted exclusively from white grapes in the heart of Lombardy’s Franciacorta region, this Satèn channels the silk-like finesse its name evokes. With its gentle, caressing bubbles and poised structure, it offers a uniquely graceful take on premium Italian sparkling wine, reserved only for wines born in Franciacorta.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Ammonites Satèn Brut shows a bright, straw-yellow hue with fine, persistent perlage that forms a delicate and creamy mousse. The nose is scented and pure, opening with white flowers, acacia and jasmine, followed by notes of ripe pear, green apple and a touch of citrus zest, layered with hints of fresh brioche and almond. On the palate, this Franciacorta is fresh yet soft, with a velvety mousse that glides gently across the tongue. The Chardonnay brings precision, citrus and orchard fruit, while Pinot Bianco adds suppleness and roundness. Flavours of crunchy apple, pear and stone fruit are framed by a subtle minerality and a refined, dry finish. Its balance of freshness and creaminess makes it immediately charming, yet it has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next 3–5 years, gaining added complexity and nuance.

Production
Ammonites Satèn Brut is born in the rolling hills of Franciacorta in Lombardy, where lake-influenced breezes, calcareous soils and a temperate climate create an ideal terroir for premium sparkling wines. Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco grapes are carefully hand-harvested to ensure pristine fruit and gentle handling from vineyard to cellar. In the winery, the base wines are fermented at controlled temperatures to preserve aromatics, then blended with precision before undergoing the traditional method (Metodo Classico) second fermentation in bottle. The lower bottling pressure typical of the Satèn style results in finer, softer bubbles and a silkier texture, followed by extended lees aging to build complexity and creaminess.

Food & Serving
This Satèn is an excellent companion to refined, delicate dishes: think crudo, carpaccio of white fish, oysters, scallops, sushi, or lightly fried seafood. It also pairs beautifully with fresh goat cheeses, soft-ripened cheeses, vegetable tempura, risotto with shellfish or spring vegetables, and elegant poultry dishes. Serve well-chilled at 8–10°C (46–50°F) to highlight its freshness and floral-fruited character. A brief 5–10 minutes in the glass is all it needs; extended decanting is not necessary, but pouring into proper tulip-shaped sparkling wine glasses will best showcase its fine mousse and aromatic finesse.
