Franciacorta Brut

From the heart of the Franciacorta hills, Brut Santus was born. A brut unlike the others thanks to the late harvest which has allowed it to obtain ripe grapes, to enhance the wonderful terroir from where they arrive, capturing the essence of the wonderful place that is Franciacorta.
Harvested exclusively by hand, the grapes, 80% Chardonnay and the remaining 20% Pinot Noir, are then transferred to wood winemaking, with a long stay on the lees to create a better and superior class Brut Santus.
