Description
What kind of wine it is
Franciacorta Brut Satèn from Cascina San Pietro is a Traditional Method sparkling wine with a fresh and structured profile, made exclusively from Chardonnay. In the glass, it displays a bright straw yellow hue, enlivened by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it releases elegant aromas of white fruits accompanied by a delicate hint of bread crust. On the palate, it stands out for its balanced body and characteristic silky smoothness. The base wine ferments in both steel and small barrels at controlled temperatures, leading to a harmonious brut dosage.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Franciacorta, from vineyards located in Calino di Cazzago San Martino. The vines sink their roots into morainic soils, which give the wine a clean character, consistent with its natural smoothness. Cascina San Pietro manages its rows with environmentally friendly viticulture that respects the plant's biological cycle. With a limited yield, the production fully reflects the authentic territorial identity of the area.
How it is produced
The manual harvest ensures the grapes reach the winery in the shortest possible time. This is followed by gentle pressing of whole bunches to extract only the free-run must, which is then cold-settled. Fermentation is started with selected yeasts, divided between steel tanks and small barrels. In spring, the blend is created by combining the various base wines. Strictly following the Traditional Method, the secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle with thirty-six months of ageing on the lees before the final dosage.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 2001 in Cazzago San Martino, Cascina San Pietro expresses the soul of the Brescia region through the elegant Franciacorta DOCG Satèn Brut. Under the guidance of oenologist Alessandro Santini, the estate cultivates six hectares on morainic soils, fully respecting natural biological cycles. Manual harvesting and gentle pressing allow for the extraction of only the purest free-run must. The careful spring blending of wines matured in steel and barriques is enhanced by a 36-month ageing on the lees, which imparts a silky and vibrant softness to the glass.
