Contadi Castaldi Franciacorta Satèn 2019 Magnum (1.5L)

A magnum of Franciacorta Satèn from Contadi Castaldi, produced in Lombardy, Italy. It follows the Satèn style, which is less fizzy and more delicate than the classic type, with a focus on harmony between complexity and pleasure. Bright straw yellow with fine, persistent bubbles, it smells of hawthorn, bread crust, balsamic notes, renetta apple, dried figs and peanuts. The palate is soft and enveloping, never sweet, with a trace of fresh savouriness, and the finish is long and dense. It is suited to salmon dishes, including grilled salmon, and works well as an aperitif.
