Description
From the heart of the Franciacorta hills comes Brut Santus Franciacorta, a Brut that is different from the others, thanks to the delayed harvest that allows us to obtain ripe grapes, capable of exalting the magnificent terroir from which they come, gathering the essence of the marvellous place that is Franciacorta.

In the space of three years, they planted about 60.000 vines over an area of 10 hectares and they now take personally care of vineyard management.
The Santus philosophy is based on the firm belief that a small wine grower’s mission must be to protect nature’s diversity and its many nuances, by rejecting standardization in any form.
In order to emphasize the strong vine-climate-terroir bond, no cuvée wines are produced and only single-vintage wines are bottled.
Harvesting occurs quite late into the season, giving all Franciacorta Santus wines a mineral character, complexity and structure combined with great drinkability. Read more
