Descrizione

The Franciacorta Brut DOCG by Santus represents the excellence of the Lombard wine tradition, produced in the renowned Franciacorta area, a land of exceptional terroir and ideal climate for growing Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Blanc. This sparkling wine made with the classic method best expresses the finesse of its bubbles, the result of careful refermentation in the bottle and a long aging on the lees that gives complexity and creaminess to the taste.

On the nose, it opens with delicate notes of bread crust, fresh citrus, and a touch of toasted almond, while on the palate it is harmonious, fresh, and lively, with an elegant balance between acidity and softness. The Magnum astucciata packaging further enhances this product, ideal for celebratory moments or as a refined accompaniment to fish dishes, delicate appetizers, and white meats.

A Franciacorta that tells the story of the territory and the passion of Santus, perfect for those seeking quality and authentic style.

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.
