The Franciacorta Satèn DOCG from Bosio is a sublime expression of the elegance and sophistication that epitomize the wines from this prestigious designation. Made exclusively from meticulously selected Chardonnay grapes, this sparkling wine is distinguished by its very fine and persistent perlage, typical of the Satèn style which involves slightly lower bottle pressure compared to other Franciacorta varieties.
On the nose, the Franciacorta Satèn DOCG from Bosio reveals a complex and inviting bouquet, with vibrant notes of white-fleshed fruits such as pear and peach, enriched by nuances of fresh almond and subtle hints of toasted bread, resulting from the long maturation on the yeasts.
On the palate, the entry is seductive and smooth, characterized by a balanced freshness and a deliciously enveloping creaminess that merges with an aromatic palette that picks up the scents perceived on the nose, enhancing them with delicate citrus and mineral notes. The harmony between acidity and smoothness makes this wine incredibly pleasant and persistent on the palate.
Ideal as an aperitif, the Franciacorta Satèn DOCG Bosio pairs beautifully with dishes based on delicate fish and shellfish, and is also perfect with light appetizers and fresh cheeses. An excellent choice for celebrating special occasions or adding a touch of unique elegance to everyday moments.
With its distinctive style and unmistakable quality, the Franciacorta Satèn DOCG from Bosio represents a prestigious addition to any high-end selection of sparkling wines. A true jewel of Italian viticulture that continues to captivate enthusiasts and connoisseurs around the world.

Winery history
The Bovio family has been in La Morra for generations. In the 1950s and 1960s Alessandro Bovio farmed grapes on a small scale. In the 1970s Gianfranco renovated the winery, and in the following years the estate began selling Nebbiolo and Barolo. Since then the estate has expanded and modernized the winery, and management has gradually passed to the next generations.
Production philosophy
The winemaking approach is founded on respect for tradition and the land: each vineyard is vinified separately to express the characteristics of the individual cru, with artisanal care in the vineyard and cellar and aging in large casks where appropriate. Attention is focused on patience, precise management of the parcels and fidelity to the character of the Langhe.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards located in La Morra and partly in Castiglione Falletto, with estate crus designated as Annunziata, Rocchettevino, Parussi, Gattera and Arborina. The estate reports approximately ten hectares of vineyards distributed across the principal MGAs of the Langhe, with vinifications carried out separately by parcel.
Awards and recognitions
Bovio's wines have received high ratings from international critics: in particular, their Barolo expressions have earned high scores from James Suckling, Robert Parker and Wine Spectator across several vintages.
