Sparkling Sauvignon Chardonnay Brut 'Tener' Magnum Banfi

The Brut Spumante Sauvignon Chardonnay 'Tener' is a bubbly that Banfi produces within its Piedmontese estate. The winery has in fact for years shifted its focus not only to the two historic properties in Tuscany, but also within Piedmont, on the strength of an experience and brand that have facilitated this 'expansion'. This is a bottle born from the union of Chardonnay and Sauvignon, the latter rarely destined for the production of sparkling wines, but able to give the 'Tener' very fragrant aromas and flavours. And it is indeed while drinking that one realises how this label flows with linearity and freshness, asserting itself with lightness and punctuality.

This Brut 'Tener' Banfi is a sparkling wine that comes from the union of Sauvignon and Chardonnay, with the former being slightly predominant in the final blend. The bunches of grapes are carefully picked during the harvest phase, and then immediately transported to the winery. The must obtained from pressing the selected grapes during destemming operations undergoes lengthy fermentation in thermo-conditioned autoclaves, following the production principles of the Martinotti Method.

The Spumante Sauvignon Chardonnay Brut "Tener" Banfi presents itself to the eye with a straw-yellow colour, crossed by a fine froth and a persistent perlage. The opening to the nose shows light and pleasant fruity tones, enriched by hints that gradually turn more towards the floral. On tasting, it has a light body, enveloping the palate thanks to a comfortable softness, brought about first and foremost by the excellent workmanship of the mousse and then by a well-developed fruity flavour. A label to have on hand when celebrating a happy event.
