MOSNEL SATÈN VINTAGE 2018

Mosnel Satèn Vintage: a point of reference centered on Chardonnay, which traditionally is interpreted according to the key given by the vintage, a key that opens the elegant casket of the aromas of this Franciacorta after at least 36 months of aging in the cellar. The refinement of a bright gold goblet with a thick and creamy perlage is revealed through clear and intense aromas. The aromatic profile is enveloping, and the sweet notes of bergamot, jasmine and calicanthus blend with the fresh spiciness of star anise and white pepper, resting on a reassuring fruity theme of peach and lychee with a touch of almond sugared almond and brioche with butter. The sip has a fine and rhythmic royal gait, and seduces the palate with the joyful alternation of mint and dried fruit, where a few flakes of salt are not missing to give a delicate persistence.

The froth of Satèn is very rich, dynamic and fast, perfectly homogeneous in the small and very small balls. Very white, flourishing. The perlage is very fine, almost reflective: but tenacious and irresolute, coagulated in a millimeter and shining crown. The nose is sweet with that measured sweetness of white and yellow fruit, from the shivering of small white flowers, vanilla and pastry creams: but not exempt from the freshness of green leaves, the shady greenery of summer. The tiny memory of sugar cane syrups tend the long, hovering term. Pure silk, yellow silk on the palate, in direct contact with the palate from the first drop: delicately saline, prey to seductive effervescence, mischievous and happy in the first moment. Then suddenly the sip swells and becomes thick and ruddy, even if it maintains a dryness and reserve that are the characteristics of elegance. Green at the exit, like freshly cut shoots, and just as alive.
