Bosio Franciacorta Saten

Bosio Franciacorta Saten is a wine poduced with 100% - Chardonnay grapes. The Saten is a particular type of Franciacorta that includes the development of about 4.5 bar the pressure inside the bottle unlike the 6 bars that are normally found in the other Franciacorta. This aspect makes the Saten a creamier wine, silky and necessarily produced with only white grapes. Chardonnay is manually harvested from Bosio around the beginning of September and taken to the cellar for a gentle pressing. The musts ferment for 80% in steel and 20% in French oak barrels and remain on fine lees until the spring after the harvest when the blending (cuvèe) takes place. The bottling of Bosio Franciacorta Saten takes place after the addition of sugar and yeast that will lead the second fermentation in the bottle and develop the famous bubbles. After at least 24 months Bosio Franciacorta Saten is disgorged and released on the market.
