Franciacorta Brùt

描述

Franciacorta Brut is a sparkling wine produced in Franciacorta, in the province of Brescia. This area, located south of Lake Iseo, enjoys a particularly mild climate that has always favored grape growing, so much so that the wines produced here were already known in Roman times. The Contadi Castaldi winery, which produces this sparkling wine, is located in Adro. Here, Monte Alto protects the vineyards from the northerly winds and the fogs of the plain. The soil is composed of marine sedimentary rocks, namely limestone, marl, and sandstone. Franciacorta Brut holds the Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin, the first Italian brut to obtain this recognition. It is made using 80% Chardonnay grapes, 10% Pinot Noir, and another 10% Pinot Blanc. The training system used is partly Guyot and partly Casarsa, with a planting density of 3,000-5,000 vines per hectare. The harvest takes place between the end of August and the beginning of September, strictly by hand, and the grapes are collected in small crates to avoid crushing the bunches. The grapes are then softly pressed and cold static decantation occurs. Selected yeasts are then added and fermentation takes place for 20 days in stainless steel containers. The initial aging lasts 7 months and takes place partly in stainless steel and partly in barriques. The wine is then cold stabilized, bottled and aged on the lees for 20-26 months, followed by disgorgement and a further aging period of another 3-4 months.

香水

White flowers in the bouquet, which advances freshly and brightly, with enveloping fruity notes and hints of aniseed, nougat and honey. It is the childhood recollection of candied peel, the alchemic pleasure of warm spicy notes that blend in the finish with accents of liquorice and cinnamon.

味道

On the palate there is a savoury, tangy and pulpy freshness.

In an attractive industrial building in Franciacorta, where they made bricks from the earth, Contadi Castaldi perfected the concept of Satèn, by bringing two French canons, blanc de blanc and crémant together in one wine. The choice of only white grapes, Chardonnay and Pinot bianco, results in less pressure in the bottles, so that the froth is lighter and more abundant.

Satèn means silkiness, a sensation that transferred from touch to the palate and can be rendered with creaminess even though this doesn’t convey the freshness of Satèn Contadi Castaldi. How can we describe it? Maybe by taking a step back and staying with the expression "like silk". Anything that is able to evoke the full-bodied lightness, the depth of thought, the princely humour that is as delicate as it is politely fickle, a graceful smile or a gesture that sows questions.

So, we're almost there. If we squeeze into a single image the impression of freshness, softness, immediacy, charging it with the absolute yellow of gold, we cannot but define what is young, who or who feels young. Satèn evokes that malice still lacking in contrasts, a free richness, the ease of wanting with joy. 阅读更多
