Contadi Castaldi – Franciacorta D.O.C.G. Satèn – Magnum – Chardonnay – Luxury Limited Edition – 1,5 l

A fragrant wine, which conquers for its original gustatory freshness. The style is played on the search for harmony between complexity and pleasantness.

The color is straw yellow, with a fine and persistent perlage. The nose is fresh and elegant, with clear scents of hawthorn, bread crust, balsamic notes, nuances of rennet apple, dried figs and peanuts. Soft in the mouth, but not sweet, it has a fresh and pleasant taste. The finish is long and decisive, of great taste pleasure.
