Tasting Notes

Great as an aperitif, the NV Saten from Ca’ dei Pazzi has a bouquet that opens with notes of grapefruit and breadcrumb to then grow softer with marzipan.

The bubbles are fine, the mouthfeel pleasant and tingly.

The finish is medium and elegant.

Chardonnay

Green-skinned grape variety used in wine production

Chardonnay is a grape variety with a green skin that is used to make white wine. The grape variety originated in eastern France’s Burgundy wine region, but it is now grown all over the world, from England to New Zealand. Growing Chardonnay is seen as a rite of passage for new and emerging wine regions, as well as an easy entry into the international wine market.
