Franciacorta
Brut Satèn Docg “Amalia”

Pavò Satèn DOCG, obtained from grapes coming from the winery’s vineyards, is a pure 100% Chardonnay, exclusive to this zone of production. This assembly of Chardonnay grapes expresses a desire to valorise all the best Pavò Franciacorta vineyards on higher slopes facing north such as those in Provaglio d’Iseo: vineyards providing different characteristics which lead to a sparkling wine unique for the completeness of its aroma, elegance and personality.

“Minute bubbles swimming through straw-hued sparkle. Decisive first taste of citrus and lemon peel resting on undertones of yellow fruit and dried flowers, closing with a mild balsamic gloss. A first soft sip gives way to freshness which invades the palate, sustained throughout by an appreciable saltiness which leaves a suave crispness. Octopus and potato salad with black Garda olives.” (cit. Guida AIS “Vitae”).
