The Brut Satèn Magnificentia of the Uberti winery
Cantina Uberti, located in the heart of Franciacorta, is renowned for producing high-quality sparkling wines. The Brut Satèn Millesimato Magnificentia is a testament to their dedication to excellence. This sparkling wine is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes from selected parcels, offering a sophisticated structure and elegant freshness that embody the magnificence of Satèn.
The Winemaking
The winemaking of Brut Satèn Millesimato Magnificentia begins with a rigorous selection of the grape clusters. The grapes are then gently pressed to preserve the purity and integrity of the must. Fermentation takes place in three different types of containers: natural oak vats of 32 Hl, French oak barriques of 2.25 Hl, and stainless steel tanks. This variety in fermentation contributes to the wine’s complexity and aromatic richness.
After the spring bottling, the wine matures on the lees for over 40 months, developing a pressure of 4.5 atm, which gives the typical creaminess of Satèn. Following disgorgement, the wine rests for at least 6 months before being marketed. The final dosage is 7 g/l, perfect for enhancing the wine’s organoleptic characteristics without overpowering its natural elegance.
Tasting the wine of the winery
Visually, the Brut Satèn Millesimato Magnificentia presents a bright straw yellow color, enriched by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of floral and fruity aromas, with notes of citrus, almond, and a slight hint of vanilla, resulting from the fermentation in wood. On the palate, the wine stands out for its soft structure, elegant freshness, and pleasant minerality. The typical creaminess of Satèn envelops the palate, providing a harmonious and persistent tasting experience.
Food Pairings
This Franciacorta Satèn is an ideal companion for refined and delicate dishes. It pairs perfectly with seafood appetizers, shellfish, and mollusks, enhancing their freshness and flavor.
