LUCREZIA ETICHETTA BIANCA SATEN 2009

Wonderful microcosm in the microcosm of excellence of Franciacorta, the Castello Bonomi estates are the new bastion of the thoughtful viticulture of CASA PALADIN. The exceptional limestone and chalk soil on the slopes of Monte Orfano, caressed by the warm currents that rise from the plain, is the magical and peculiar ingredient of this strip of Franciacorta, where the vines draw deep into the rich salts of the earth. Sudden climatic and pedological variations create a mosaic of microzones in just a few hectares, which the winemakers of CASA PALADIN have been able to wisely exploit, also through the restoration of forgotten vineyards, such as CruPerdu.

In the mouth, acidity and flavor are the right protagonists of the tasting, accompanied by a marked minerality.
