Ferghettina Franciacorta Satèn Brut DOCG 2019 Review
A relatively new appellation in the history of Italy, focused solely on sparkling wine, Franciacorta wines are made in the traditional method from three varieties Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco. If the wine is made with only white grapes in a certain style, it's designated a Satèn — which translates to silk, for its smooth, silky profile. Ferghenttina is a name that has been in the region since the early ‘90s and has set a standard of quality on the American market. This bottle is one of the best ways to introduce yourself to the wines of this region and the quality is so on point. This wine is focused, with persistent bubbles. It has a wonderful texture on the palate, with citrus notes that end with a slightly herby finish.
