Franciacorta DOCG Brut (750 ml.) Contadi Castaldi
Franciacorta Brut by Contadi Castaldi is a Chardonnay-based cuvée, a sparkling wine that stands out for its extreme freshness and drinkability. The winery was founded in 1991 by the historic Moretti family, founders of the famous and renowned Bellavista. The sparkling wine ages on the lees for 20-26 months, and it is precisely this last stage that enriches the wine, giving it depth and thickness. Fresh aromas of lime and pleasant notes of citrus, white peach and green pepper emerge. On the palate it is taut, vibrant, very drinkable and with a persistent finish. Smoothness and drinkability are the key words to identify the production style adopted, without sacrificing complexity and longevity. Extremely versatile, it accompanies aperitifs and delicate fish-based dishes, but also soups and risottos. Always in the name of elegance.

CCT-FRANCIACORTA-BRUT
Contadi Castaldi was founded in 1987 in Adro, when Vittorio Moretti, already owner of the Bellavista winery, decided to transform an old furnace he had purchased because it was linked to his wife's childhood memories into a sparkling wine house. It became a famous and innovative Franciacorta winery capable of combining charm, experimentation, modernity and excellence, thanks to the Moretti family's ancient and well-rooted passion for wine, combined with extraordinary entrepreneurial expertise.
One of the merits of this Franciacorta company was, for example, to have studied and developed the concept of Satèn, and for this reason the winery has become a great point of reference for this type.
Currently the wineries have a large park of vineyards and about 7,000 square meters of internal rooms that host the entire production cycle, from pressing the bunches to aging on the lees in the bottle according to the Classic Method. Large investments are reserved for research and experimentation, also stimulated through the organization of training masters on wine.
