In the heart of Franciacorta, a region renowned for Lombardy’s sparkling wine excellence, the Franciacorta Essenza Metodo Classico - Magnum - Santus represents a refined and immersive sensory journey. Produced exclusively with Chardonnay grapes, this wine matures according to the tradition of extended aging on the lees, which imparts complexity, finesse, and a delicate yet vibrant effervescence. In the glass, it shows a fine and persistent perlage, accompanied by an aromatic profile rich in floral notes, white fruit, and a pleasant minerality. The taste is elegant, balanced, with a flavor structure that recalls toasted bread and almond, characteristic elements of a well-executed metodo classico. The Magnum bottle enhances the maturation, offering a rounder and more complex fruit. Perfect to accompany dishes based on fish, shellfish, or a refined aperitif, this Franciacorta by Santus embodies the excellence of the territory and artisanal care.
