The Franciacorta Satèn di Barbalonga is an elegant traditional-method sparkling wine that best represents the refinement and tradition of Franciacorta, one of Italy’s most prestigious wine regions for producing high-quality sparkling wines. Born in a unique terroir characterized by morainic hills, mineral-rich soils, and an ideal microclimate, this wine expresses finesse, balance, and great harmony.
The Satèn is an exclusive Franciacorta style, produced exclusively from white grapes and characterized by lower pressure than other Franciacorta wines, giving it softer, creamier, and more enveloping bubbles. A true expression of elegance and delicacy.
To the eye, it is a luminous straw yellow with golden highlights, enhanced by a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, it offers a refined bouquet with aromas of white flowers, apple, pear, and citrus, accompanied by elegant notes of bread crust, brioche, almond, and pastries, developed during its long aging on the lees.
On the palate, it is soft, creamy, and harmonious, with a pleasant mineral freshness that balances its structure and brings harmony to the sip. Its velvety texture and long, refined finish make it a Franciacorta of great class.
Perfect as a prestigious aperitif, it pairs beautifully with shellfish, oysters, raw fish, sushi, delicate risottos, white meats, and fresh cheeses.

Winemaking
The grapes, carefully hand-harvested between the second ten days of August and the first ten days of September, are pressed whole and fermented in steel at a controlled temperature of approximately 16-18°C. The sparkling wine base matures in steel on the lees, with periodic batonnage, until tirage and the second fermentation, during which up to 20 g/l of sugar may be used and completely transformed to achieve the maximum bottle pressure of 5 atmospheres established by the production regulations. The bottles are then aged on their own lees for at least 24 months. After disgorgement, a further resting period of approximately 2 months follows.
