Description
Franciacorta brut Ammonites Satèn Camilucci
Variety: Chardonnay 85% and Pinot Bianco 15%
Straw yellow color.
The nose is fine and precise, with elegant crystals. Notes of citrus, followed by those of peach and white apple. Gentle honey and the notes of freshly baked croissants. They rotate light, numerous in succession and of beautiful quality.
On the palate the different production method distributes the carbon in a persuasive way, so as to give a latent creaminess to the wine. The other hardnesses are good, so as to have elegance and volume. Deep and persistent with aromas of almond, flowers and sweet spices.
The trace of Stefano’s wines is that of the supreme balance, between volume and verticality. Satén also follows the same path, being an excellent Italian Sparkling wine.
