Franciacorta Saten DOCG - Contadi Castaldi

Contadi Castaldi 's Franciacorta Satèn is produced with Chardonnay from various company vineyards, all over 20 years of age and managed with different training systems (Guyot, Casarsa and spurred cordon). The harvest takes place between the end of August and the beginning of September; after pressing, the must is clarified through natural cold sedimentation and slowly fermented (about 20 days) in stainless steel. The malolactic fermentation is partially carried out, and the base wine is aged for 7 months, partly in steel and partly in barriques. Bottling in May is the prelude to 30-36 months of rest on the lees. The dosage is small, 6g/L and after another 3-4 months in the bottle, the Satèn is ready to be uncorked.
