Vinification of the Marchese Antinori Donna Cora Satèn Franciacorta from Tenuta Montenisa

This elegant sparkling wine from Italy is made from the Chardonnay grape variety. The Marchese Antinori Donna Cora Satèn Franciacorta is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Italian wine exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. The maturation of the grapes for this Chardonnay wine is influenced to a very large extent by the climate of the growing region. In Lombardy, the grapes thrive in a rather cool climate, which is reflected in particularly long and even grapes and a rather moderate must weight. The grapes for this sparkling wine from Italy are harvested exclusively by hand once optimum ripeness has been ensured. After the grape harvest, the grapes are transported to the press house as quickly as possible. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation of the base wines. Once the cuvée has been blended, further ageing takes place using the classic bottle fermentation method. The Tenuta Montenisa Marchese Antinori Donna Cora Satèn Franciacorta then matures for 60 months on the lees.
