Ronco Calino Saten Franciacorta Blanc de Blancs

Ronco Calino Franciacorta Blanc de Blancs has arrived! Arguably Italy's most serious sparkling wines despite they are so immediately appealing. This Blanc de Blancs is entirely Chardonnay made sparkling by the methode champenoise. Ronco Calino is one of very few producers -perhaps 110 in all of Franciacorta and it is wonderful Blanc de Blancs! A sure fit for any Italian restaurant and for others, it is a superb Blanc de Blancs from even Champagne but for a happier tune in terms of value. Saten is a well loved Franciacorta category named for its gentler texture because this Blanc de Blancs is only at 4 bars of pressure rather than the typical 5. It is also held on the lees in bottle for a minimum of 30 months which is 6 months longer than the minimum required. 30% barrel fermented lends richness and a textural dimension to a pure panoply of fruit. An absolute delight.
