Franciacorta Essenza Metodo Classico - Astucciato - Santus 2013

The Franciacorta Essenza Metodo Classico of Santus is a refined and vibrant expression of the renowned Lombard denomination. Made exclusively with traditional grape varieties such as Chardonnay and Pinot Nero, this bottle-refermented sparkling wine strictly follows the classic method, ensuring finesse and complexity. After a long aging on the lees, the bubbles are fine and persistent, accompanying a nose rich with notes of yeast, green apple, citrus, and slight hints of toast. On the palate, it reveals itself to be fresh and harmonious, with a pleasant minerality that reflects the hilly production area, nestled between Lake Iseo and the surrounding plains. Thanks to its balance between structure and lightness, it pairs magnificently with elegant aperitifs and dishes of delicate fish or fresh cheeses. A Franciacorta with an authentic personality, gracefully telling the sparkling wine vocation of Santus.
