QSATEN 2014
Our QSATEN, is essence and expression of Franciacorta terroir, made exclusively from white skinned grape varieties and with a lower pressure (4,5 atmospheres instead of 6) than our other Franciacorta wines.
The cuvee is a blend of Chardonnay, partly fermented in oak barrels, and Pinot Blanc. This varietal composition together with the lower pressure give our Saten its unique «creamy» texture.
