Franciacorta Brut Saten Ferghettina 2021

The Franciacorta Brut Saten by Ferghettina is produced in Cazzago San Martino by a family-run winery. Roberto Gatti learns the basics of viticulture working for well-known brands in Franciacorta and managing both the production side in the winery and the work in the vineyards. In 1990, together with his wife Andreina, he takes over about 4 hectares of land and in 1991 he releases his first bottles on the market. The name "Ferghettina" is inspired by the toponym of the parcel on which the winery is built. In 1992, the first Franciacorta is released, brut which is still today the symbol of the activity. Today, there are about 200 hectares fully planted, located in 11 municipalities of Franciacorta, managed also thanks to the help of Roberto's children Laura and Matteo who apply every day the academic teachings and those learned in the field.

The grape harvest takes place manually around mid-August due to particularly hot summers that force an earlier timing. The whole bunch is gently pressed and during vinification, the free-run must and that from the second pressing not intended for bottling are separated. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel and re-ferments in the bottle according to the Metodo Champenoise.
