What we think about the wine:
Essence Saten Brut Franciacorta DOCG is a very elegant sparkling wine characterized by exotic nuances. The manufacturing company is the historic Antica Fratta winery, located in the town of Monticelli Brusati, whose foundation dates back to the mid-nineteenth century. It is made with 100% Chardonnay, a wine grown on calcareous-clayey soils of morainic origin with an abundant skeleton. The harvest takes place between mid-August and early September, when the grapes have reached the right ripeness, without having lost acidity or freshness. Essence Saten Brut is an intense and enveloping sparkling wine ready to drink immediately, however its complex structure allows it to rest in the cellar for a few more years, in order to further develop its aromatic bouquet.
