Franciacorta Saten is produced at the Arcari Danesi estate located on Monte Orfano, an ancient rocky relief that forms the southern boundary of the Franciacorta area. The vineyards extend in the highest part of the southern slope, in a beautiful natural amphitheater, cultivated in terraces, on calcareous-clay matrix soils.

The use of grape must instead of sugar further enhances this richness of aromas that only perfectly ripe grapes can provide. The cuvée is created from the blending of Chardonnay from various parcels of the estate. The bottles rest on the lees for about 30 months before disgorgement, followed by another six months of aging.
