Santus Franciacorta Brut 2020
£26.45
From the heart of the Franciacorta hills, Brut Santus was born. A brut unlike any other 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 Italian ‘champagne’.

Franciacorta – Santus
In 1995, agronomists Maria Luisa Santus and Gianfranco Pagano took up the challenge of devoting themselves full-time to winegrowing in the Franciacorta region. Their goal was to produce exclusively Franciacorta wine.
In the space of three years, they planted about 60.000 vines over an area of 10 hectares and they now take personally care of vineyard management.
The Santus philosophy is based on a firm belief that a small wine grower’s mission must be to protect nature’s diversity and its many nuances, by rejecting standardization in any form.
In order to emphasize the strong vine-climate-terroir bond, no cuvée wines are produced and only single-vintage wines are bottled.
Santus Franciacorta selection includes Franciacorta Brut (Chardonnay & Pinot Noir blend), Saten (100% Chardonnay), Rose (100% Pinot Noir), Dosaggiozero (‘0’ added sugar, the driest of the range), and the cru wine ‘Essenza’.
