La Montina Franciacorta 'Saten'
The Chardonnay grapes that make up this wine come from some of the longest-standing vineyards located towards Lake Iseo, from whose microclimate they derive all the benefits. On the nose it presents a complex bouquet with hints of fresh fruit, acacia and lime. The fermentations partly take place in lightly toasted barriques, in order to give the wine elegance, finesse and notes of vanilla. In the mouth it denotes a pleasant tactile sensation of silkiness.
