Bonfadini’s NV Franciacorta Satèn Carpe Diem DOCG is a beautifully crafted Blanc de Blancs, made exclusively from Chardonnay and expressing the refined, softer side of Franciacorta. The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed, with part of the wine fermented and aged in stainless steel and the remainder in French oak for added depth and complexity. True to the Satèn style, the second fermentation in bottle occurs at a lower pressure to create a creamy, velvety mousse, followed by a minimum of 24 months ageing on lees to build texture, finesse and aromatic richness.
In the glass, it displays a luminous straw-yellow colour and a fine, balanced perlage. The nose is layered and expressive, offering a complex bouquet with persistent notes of ripe fruit and delicate vanilla. On the palate, it is silky and elegant, with a long, charming finish supported by freshness and harmony. This refined, softly textured Franciacorta showcases both precision and indulgence, earning recognition from leading wine critics for its quality and style.
