It is spelled ‘Satèn’ but pronounced Franciacorta DOCG. This type of sparkling wine, reserved exclusively for Franciacorta DOCG, is always based on a wine produced exclusively from white grapes, Chardonnay, as in this case, or Pinot Bianco. Its main characteristic, however, is the moderate pressure in the bottle, which gives it a particular softness reminiscent of silk. Essence Satèn is Antica Fratta's interpretation of this Franciacorta style, where citrus notes blend elegantly with hints of exotic fruits. Delicately effervescent, it is a non-vintage product, aged in the bottle for a minimum of 24 months, as required by the Franciacorta DOCG regulations. Straw yellow with golden reflections, it has a particularly fine perlage and a soft, creamy mousse. The nose is intense and harmonious. On the palate, it is enveloping, elegant and persistent. It requires a delicate pairing. It is ideal as an aperitif but also accompanies delicate fish or shellfish dishes with real satisfaction.
