Franciacorta Sat\u00e8n: a bit of history<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First of all, we need to specify that the word Sat\u00e8n<\/strong> can only<\/strong> be found when we speak about Franciacorta wines<\/strong>. This peculiarity makes it an exclusive<\/strong> for this territory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The history<\/strong> of Sat\u00e8n is really particular<\/strong> and binds together France, Luxembourg and Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything started in 1989, when with the European Legislation no. 2045\/89 the word Cr\u00e9mant was standardized with the aim of designating products of well-defined origin, i.e. only sparkling wines produced in France and Luxembourg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does Cr\u00e9mant mean?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The word Cr\u00e9mant<\/strong> indicates sparkling wines with a lower carbon dioxide content<\/strong>, a detail which therefore determines a softer, more delicate and creamier foam. They have lighter bubbles <\/strong>and are characterized by a slightly lower internal pressure<\/strong> than classic sparkling wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem is that even in Franciacorta<\/strong>, a geographical area that includes 19 municipalities in the province of Brescia, Cr\u00e9mant sparkling wines were produced<\/strong>, so according to European legislation the name of the latter products had to be necessarily changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do that, it was decided to entrust the task to a group of communication experts, to create from scratch an easily memorable name that would perfectly describe the organoleptic qualities of this type of Franciacorta wine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this research, the name Sat\u00e8n<\/strong> was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do we mean with Sat\u00e8n?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSat\u00e8n<\/strong>\u201d comes from \u201cSatin<\/strong>\u201d, that is a typology of a fine, smooth and soft fabric<\/strong>. The peculiarity of this name is that it has the same meaning both in English and French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if the translation does not correspond, what the word generates at first glance is a certain assonance with the concept of \u201csilk<\/strong>“. The name was therefore also designed to associate this type of product with a feeling of silky<\/strong> and softness<\/strong> in the minds of consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Franciacorta Sat\u00e8n DOCG<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Sat\u00e8n<\/strong> represents one of the three types of Franciacorta wine <\/strong>allowed by its product regulations<\/strong> and must necessarily be produced with the Classic Method<\/strong> and obtained from Chardonnay grapes<\/strong> for at least 50%<\/strong>. The Pinot White<\/strong> grape can contribute to its production for a maximum of 50%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What emerges is that Sat\u00e8n<\/strong> is by definition a \u201cBlanc de Blancs\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, i.e. a white<\/strong> Franciacorta wine obtained<\/strong> solely from white berry grapes<\/strong>. One-of-a-kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Organoleptic characteristics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Sat\u00e8n wine is in every way a qualitative and tasteful exception. It differs from the other types of Franciacorta wines for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • maximum pressure limit in the bottle<\/strong>: it must be less than 5 atmospheres, slightly lower than the others, where the pressure is around 6 and 6.5 atmospheres. This determines its typical softness and delicate taste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • limit the amount of sugar<\/strong>: the maximum allowed is 20 g\/l, unlike the 24 g\/l of other Franciacorta wines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • the sugar content<\/strong>\u00a0is obligatorily\u00a0Brut<\/strong>: unlike the other types, the final dosage must be equal to or less than 12 g\/l and only the\u00a0Brut<\/strong>\u00a0type is allowed to be released for consumption.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The Franciacorta Sat\u00e8n wine from Centinari<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The Centinari Franciacorta Sat\u00e8n wine is a bright yellow colour Millesimato<\/strong>, with a strong aroma that recalls hints of fresh fruit and white flowers and with light notes of almost toasted dried fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Unlike the rule imposed by the Franciacorta regulations, which requires a minimum aging time for the Sat\u00e8n Millesimato wines<\/strong> of at least 30 months, Centinari is constantly committed to improve some parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Centinari Franciacorta Sat\u00e8n<\/strong> in fact ages<\/strong> for at least 42 months<\/strong> on the yeasts in air-conditioned rooms. During this period b\u00e2tonnage is repeated manually and will characterize the gustatory and olfactory profile of Franciacorta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    An excellent wine result that has allowed the Sat\u00e8n<\/strong> to win important recognitions<\/strong> such as the Double Gold<\/strong> medal at the international Gilbert & Gaillard 2023 competition or the gold medal at the famous Mundus Vini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    How to pair Sat\u00e8n?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Centinari recommends pairing it with fish dishes. In particular, it is recommended to taste it with risottos based on sea fish and crunchy fried octopus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
