Franciacorta Brut Satèn 2021 by Barone Pizzini is a 100% organic Chardonnay wine, sourced from vineyards over 20 years old located between 220 and 260 meters above sea level. Its structure is derived from alluvial, morainic, and fluvioglacial soils, rich in draining skeleton. After 10 months in steel (70%) and used barriques (30%), it ages for 31 months on the lees, expressing a silky and alluring profile, with citrus notes, white flowers, and an intense minerality, rare in this category. The perlage is very fine, and the taste is elegant and persistent. Perfect from aperitif to the entire meal, with white meats, fish, fresh cheeses, and raw seafood. Only 4,166 cases produced.

The Barone Pizzini is one of the historic wineries of Franciacorta, known and esteemed for the quality and reliability of its cuvées. Founded in Provaglio d’Iseo in 1870 by Baron Giulio Pizzini Piomarta Von Thurberg, the winery is now led by a group of passionate Brescia entrepreneurs: Ugo Colombo, Piermatteo Ghitti, and Silvano Brescianini. In 1998, it was the first winery in Franciacorta to embrace the cause of organic viticulture and today, alongside the pursuit of quality and excellence, it continues its commitment to sustainable agriculture.
The vineyards of Barone Pizzini cover a total of 47 hectares divided into 25 plots among the municipalities of Provaglio, Corte Franca, Ado, and Passirado. They are rooted at about 200 meters above sea level and on partly morainic soils, enriched by fluvioglacial deposits. The cultivation methods are organic and aim for the harmonious balance of the plant, the production of well-characterized grapes, a guarantee of quality and health for the consumer, and the protection of the environment and territory. The harvested grapes are processed and vinified in an ultra-modern winery, built in 2006 according to eco-compatible architectural criteria, equipped with photovoltaic panels and natural conditioning systems.
From the lively and rigorous activity of the Barone Pizzini winery comes a rich and extraordinary range of Franciacorta sparkling wines, all of great quality and indissolubly linked to the territory.
