Franciacorta Saten

The Mirabella winery, nestled in the heart of Franciacorta, represents a point of reference for the production of top-quality wines. Founded in 1979, this winemaking company has been able to combine tradition and innovation, giving life to a range of Franciacortas that express the essence of the terroir and the passion of those who cultivate it. The winery, originally a former winery from the 1940s, still retains the architectural features of the time, such as the precious cement fermentation tanks. Mirabella has been able to enhance this historical heritage, integrating it with cutting-edge technologies and adopting sustainable agricultural practices. Today, the company manages 45 hectares of organic vineyards, cultivated with respect for the environment and in full compliance with natural rhythms. The beating heart of the winery is represented by the underground structure, surrounded by a stream that guarantees a constant and ideal temperature for the refinement of the wines. This design choice, in addition to promoting an optimal microclimate, minimizes the environmental impact, limiting the use of artificial air conditioning systems. The production of Franciacorta Mirabella is characterized by a careful respect for tradition and a constant commitment to innovation. All the bases undergo malolactic fermentation, a natural process that helps give the wine greater aromatic complexity and greater softness. The aging on the lees, prolonged for several months, allows the wine to develop a fine and persistent perlage and to acquire complex and pleasant aromatic notes. The range of Mirabella wines offers a wide range of possibilities, able to satisfy the most demanding palates. From the classic Franciacorta Brut and Rosé Millesimati, to the special cuvées dedicated to native vines such as Pinot Bianco and Pinot Nero, each label tells a story and combines tradition and innovation. The Mirabella winery offers visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of wine through guided tours and tastings. A unique experience to discover the secrets of production and appreciate the quality of Franciacorta.

Franciacorta Satèn di Mirabella is a wine of the highest quality, produced in the renowned Franciacorta region. This wine, thanks to its delicacy and elegance, is considered one of the best examples of Satèn, a type of Franciacorta characterized by a fine and persistent perlage and a soft and enveloping taste. Satèn differs from Franciacorta Brut for a lower pressure in the bottle, which gives it a finer perlage and a more delicate taste. Furthermore, Satèn is produced exclusively with Chardonnay grapes, which give it a unique elegance and aromatic complexity. The Chardonnay grapes used to produce Franciacorta Satèn di Mirabella come from vineyards located in an area particularly suited to the cultivation of this vine, characterized by calcareous and moraine soils. These soils, together with the cool and sunny climate of Franciacorta, give the wine a unique minerality and freshness. The vinification of Franciacorta Satèn di Mirabella takes place following the method used to produce fine wines. The grapes, harvested manually, are softly pressed to obtain a must of great quality. Fermentation takes place in steel at a controlled temperature, to preserve the freshness and aroma of the wine. Subsequently, the wine is bottled with the addition of yeasts and sugar, to start the second fermentation in the bottle.
