During the tasting, we will explore:

• The evolution on the yeasts: the young Franciacorta Satèn vintage 2023, still in the refinement phase, will be tasted after disgorgement at volley, revealing the first nuances of complexity to all the senses
• The final product: the 2021 vintage Franciacorta Satèn in its finished form.

The tasting will be led by Stefania Pompele, agrotechnician and sensory analyst with over a decade of experience in tasting training. Teacher and consultant in the Food & Beverage sector, Stefania will make her expertise available, making the experience engaging and educational.
