WINE DESCRIPTION

Barone Pizzini Franciacorta Satén Edizione is a premium sparkling wine produced by Barone Pizzini, a renowned winery located in the Franciacorta appellation of Lombardy, Italy. The wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the winery's vineyards, which are characterized by their limestone-rich soils and favorable microclimate. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the best grapes, followed by a gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel and in used oak barrels. The wine is then aged on its lees for a minimum of 30-40 months, resulting in a delicate and refined style with a creamy texture and fine bubbles. This wine is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the elegance and complexity of Franciacorta sparkling wines.

ORIGINS

Winery: Barone Pizzini

Region: Lombardy

Lombardy is a region in the north of Italy, located in the foothills of the Alps. With a long history of winemaking, Lombardy is one of the most prolific wine regions in Italy, producing a wide range of styles from sparkling to still wines. The history of winemaking in Lombardy dates back to the Roman Empire, when the region was known as Cisalpine Gaul. During this period, the Romans planted vineyards and developed winemaking techniques that are still used today. In the Middle Ages, Lombardy was an important center of winemaking, with many monasteries producing wine for religious ceremonies. In the 19th century, Lombardy was one of the first regions in Italy to embrace modern winemaking techniques, such as the use of oak barrels and the introduction of new grape varieties.
