Descrizione

The Franciacorta Brut DOCG by Santus is a refined and vibrant expression of this famous Lombard denomination. Obtained from a skillfully balanced blend of classic Franciacorta grape varieties, such as Chardonnay and Pinot Nero, it surprises with its freshness and the finesse of the bubbles, the result of a second fermentation in the bottle according to the traditional method.

The color is bright straw yellow, accompanied by a fine and persistent perlage that elegantly envelops the glass. On the nose, scents of green apple, citrus, and yeast notes emerge, recalling the complexity derived from aging on the lees. On the palate, it is balanced, with a pleasant acidity that makes it a versatile companion for seafood appetizers, fish-based dishes, and fresh cheeses.

The care in the cellar and the stylistic balance make this Franciacorta an ideal toast for every occasion, bringing to the table the excellence of the Santus territory.

Winery history

Cantina Santi was founded as a winery in Illasi and has been present in Valpolicella since the 19th century. During the 20th century the Santi family introduced technical innovations and progressively focused on high-end wines; in 1974 the winery became part of Gruppo Italiano Vini, which reinforced investments and facilities while preserving its local identity.

Production philosophy

Santi claims a style tied to the sense of place of Valpolicella: it favors the predominant use of Corvina in its selections, aging in large traditional casks, and the use of local woods to enhance the aromatic qualities typical of native grape varieties. The approach combines oenological research with respect for local practices.

Terroir and vineyards

Santi's vineyards and selections are concentrated in Val d'Illasi and the classic areas of Valpolicella, using a vineyard-selection approach across different exposures and microclimates to produce wines that reflect the local terroir. The winery also works with vineyards in other Veronese appellations such as Soave, Bardolino and Lugana.
