Donna Cora Satèn 2011 Classification Franciacorta DOCG Vintage 2011
Vinification: The whole bunches of Chardonnay were subjected directly to a soft pressing. The 'flower' must, i.e. the one obtained from the first pressing, was subjected to the first alcoholic fermentation which took place in stainless steel tanks and a small part in barriques. Towards the spring of the following year, the wine began the second fermentation process in the bottle, remaining in contact with the yeasts for a period of 48 months.
Tasting notes: Pale straw yellow colour with very light golden reflections, creamy mousse with fine and persistent perlage, delicate aroma with hints of floral notes of white pulp fruit. The palate is harmonious, complex and elegant. The ideal serving temperature is between 7 and 9°C. Food pairings and drinking occasions: Particularly suitable as an aperitif or with pasta dishes with fish, baked fish and white meat.
Historical data: Tenuta Montenisa is located in the heart of Franciacorta, around the village of Calino, near Lake Iseo. The vineyards surrounding the villa owned by the Maggi family have been the heart of Marchese AntinoriFranciacorta production since 1999.
