Vintage Collection Satèn – Ca’ Del Bosco – 2018

The sparkling wine Vintage Collection Satèn by Ca’ Del Bosco winery

Here is the Vintage Collection Satèn from the Cà Del Bosco winery. We are talking about one of the three wines that complete the company’s trilogy of prestigious wines.

The cuvée is made up of 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Blanc. The Chardonnay grapes come from 13 vineyards located in the Municipalities of Erbusco, Adro, Cazzago San Martino, Corte Franca and Passirano. Instead, the Pinot Bianco vineyards are located in the municipality of Passirano. All the vines are between 29 and 32 years old.

THE WINEMAKING

The rigorously manual harvest takes place in the second half of August. Once in the cellar. Each bunch is selected by hand and subjected to a particular bunch washing system.

After pressing in the absence of oxygen, all the musts of the base wines ferment for about five months in small oak barrels. The passage in the barrel allows maintaining the maximum aromatic complexity without losing the wine’s elegance,

Seven months after the harvest, the cuvée is created, i.e. the skilful union of 15 base wines. The wine thus obtained ages in the bottle on the lees for an average period of 48 months.

The dégorgement takes place in the absence of oxygen, using a system devised and patented by Ca’ del Bosco, which avoids oxidative shocks and further additions of sulphites, and makes this Franciacorta purer, more pleasant and long lasting.

Before being placed on the market, each bottle is numbered to guarantee its traceability.

Tasting the Vintage Collection Satèn by Ca’ Del Bosco

Pale golden yellow with a very fine and persistent perlage. The aroma is delightful and elegant, with sweet hints of honey leaving room for fruity peach, pineapple, and citrus notes, closing with another sweet note of sugared almonds. Fresh and sapid on the palate. Excellent persistence.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Perfect as an aperitif, it goes very well with raw fish. Ideal throughout the meal if the menu is of fish.
