Spumante Sauvignon Chardonnay Brut 'Tener' Banfi

The Brut Spumante Sauvignon Chardonnay 'Tener' is a bubbly that Banfi produces within its Piedmontese estate. The winery has in fact for years shifted its focus not only to the two historic estates in Tuscany, but also within Piedmont, on the strength of an experience and brand that have facilitated this 'expansion'. This is a bottle that was born from the union of Chardonnay and Sauvignon, the latter rarely destined for sparkling wines, yet capable of giving the 'Tener' very fragrant aromas and flavours. And it is indeed while drinking that one realises how this label flows with linearity and freshness, asserting itself with lightness and punctuality.

This Brut 'Tener' Banfi is a sparkling wine that comes from the union of Sauvignon and Chardonnay, with the former being slightly predominant in the final blend. The bunches of grapes are carefully picked during the harvest phase, and then immediately transported to the winery. The must obtained from the pressing of the selected berries during destemming, undergoes lengthy fermentation in temperature-controlled autoclaves, following the production principles of the Martinotti Method.

The Spumante Sauvignon Chardonnay Brut "Tener" Banfi presents itself to the eye with a straw-yellow colour, crossed by a fine froth and a persistent perlage. The opening to the nose shows light and pleasant fruity tones, enriched by hints that gradually turn more towards the floral. On the palate, it is light-bodied and involving thanks to a comfortable softness, brought about firstly by the excellent workmanship of the mousse and then by a well-developed fruity flavour. A label to have on hand when celebrating a happy occasion.
