More questions
Elegant interpretation of Satèn by Tenuta Montenisa for Marchese Antinori, presented in magnum format and packaged in a wooden case: a proposal that emphasizes softness and pleasant drinkability. In the glass you appreciate fine, creamy bubbles that envelop the palate, supported by a balance of freshness and minerality. The aromatic profile is discreet but defined, with hints of ripe white fruit, touches of sweet citrus and light yeasty traces suggesting delicate bakery notes; the whole remains clean and not cloying.
On the palate it surprises with roundness and harmony: the body is soft without being flat, the citrus returns keep the sip lively and the finish is pleasant. Excellent as an elegant aperitif, it pairs well with raw seafood, flavorful risottos and delicate fish or shellfish dishes; it also makes an impressive gift or suits occasions where the magnum takes center stage, promoting slower maturation and convivial sharing.

The story
The estate’s winemaking origins are linked to the noble Della Gherardesca family (vineyards since the late 17th century). The property entered the Antinori holdings in the 1930s; the estate’s modern winemaking development took place from the late 1980s–1990s. First documented vintage of Vermentino at the estate: 1996.
Production philosophy
To express the Bolgheri terroir through parcel selection, experimentation in the vineyard and cellar, and practices focused on quality and respect for the territory.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in the Bolgheri DOC (Upper Maremma) on a plain encircled by gentle hills known as the “Bolgheri Amphitheatre.” Climate is moderated by sea breezes; alluvial soils range from sandy-clay to silty-clay with fine gravel (Bolgheri agglomerate), influencing the character of varieties grown (Cabernet, Merlot, Vermentino, etc.).
