The Franciacorta Satén DOCG 2020 by Bellavista is an outstanding vintage sparkling wine, showcasing the elegance of Franciacorta DOCG in a particularly refined style. Satén is an exclusive category within Franciacorta: it is made exclusively from Chardonnay and is defined by a softer, silkier perlage, achieved through slightly lower bottle pressure. The careful production using the traditional method and extended ageing on the lees create a complex, well-balanced aromatic profile that defines this vintage.In the glass, the 2020 displays a pale straw-yellow colour with a subtle golden sheen and a very fine, persistent mousse. The bouquet opens with delicate notes of fresh fruit such as peach, yellow plum and pineapple, accompanied by gentle hints of honey and hazelnut, shaped by the long lees ageing. On the palate, the wine is dry yet soft, with a lively but velvety texture. Bright freshness perfectly balances the ripe fruit, while the fine, long-lasting bubbles underline the wine’s elegant mouthfeel. The finish is harmonious and vibrant, leaving a clean, energetic aftertaste that captures the character of a classic Franciacorta Satén.Bellavista is one of Franciacorta’s most renowned producers, working with the traditional method for decades and setting benchmarks in both classic and modern styles. Satén 2020 reflects this philosophy: a high-level yet approachable sparkling wine, ideal as an aperitif and also an excellent match for delicate, lighter dishes.
