Santus
- 01CityRovato, Italy
Santus belongs to Franciacorta’s quieter small-estate current: vineyard-led, single-vintage sparkling wine from morainic hillside soils in Rovato. Founded in 1995 by agronomists Maria Luisa Santus and Gianfranco Pagano, it keeps the frame narrow, focused on Chardonnay, Pinot Nero, late harvest decisions, and traditional-method wines rather than a broad cellar-door spectacle.
