Franciacorta Brut Saten Millesimato Enrico Gatti 2022
The Franciacorta Satèn Vintage by Enrico Gatti is a medium-bodied, elegant, and fragrant sparkling wine, aged on the lees in the bottle for 36 months. It is fresh, harmonious, and balanced, enriched with hints of fruit, citrus, and white flowers, with savory and mineral nuances.
The Saten is one of the flagship products of Enrico Gatti's winery, a winemaker by passion even before profession, who in 1972 chose to leave his job as a construction contractor to plant the first hectare of vineyard on land rented from the noble Pasini family of Brescia. Since then, the cultivated hectares have grown to 17, and the company has experienced substantial enhancement, with the planting of new vineyards and a threefold expansion of the winery.
Following a guiding principle aimed at enhancing the typicality of Franciacorta, Enrico Gatti began producing strongly characterized wines, capable of highlighting the different personalities of the originating soils: this is evidenced by the meticulous varietal selection applied in the vineyard and the adoption of low environmental impact cultivation systems.
The Saten fully reflects these parameters, distinguishing itself each year among the wines of the same category in the main industry guides. Coming exclusively from a blend of 100% Chardonnay and vintage, the Saten is a silky wine of great finesse, characterized by a marked freshness, which is accompanied by soft and fragrant notes, while the citrus and spicy accents engage the palate in a very persistent finish.
The Saten by Enrico Gatti is thus appreciated alongside savory appetizers, thanks to its freshness and minerality, but it also manages to win over in pairing with an entire meal, thanks to the complexity of its aromas.
