Descrizione

Franciacorta Brut DOCG - Magnum - Santus represents an excellence of the Lombardy region, renowned for its high-quality sparkling wine tradition. Produced following the classic method, this Franciacorta patiently ages on the lees to impart complexity and finesse to the palate. The main grape variety composing this wine is Pinot Nero, often combined with Chardonnay and in some vintages also with Pinot Bianco, creating a harmonious and structured blend. In the glass, it shows a fine and persistent perlage, while the nose offers aromas of white flowers, subtle notes of bread crust, and a slight minerality. The palate is fresh, balanced, with a vibrant acidity that gives savoriness and invites sipping. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with refined fish dishes, shellfish, and delicate white meats, this Franciacorta Brut Magnum is ideal for important sharing moments.

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.
