Franciacorta Rosé Brut by Contadi Castaldi is a cuvée based on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, a classic method sparkling wine with a medium body, soft and fragrant. The winery was founded in 1991 by the historic Moretti family, founders of the famous and renowned Bellavista. The sparkling wine rests for 7 months in steel and then in barrique; it undergoes an initial refinement of 24 to 30 months on the lees and a post-disgorgement of 3-4 months. The bouquet of aromas recalls berries, rose petals and the final nuance of ripe tropical fruit, together with the characteristic crust of freshly baked bread; on the palate it is structured, enveloping and creamy, with a good flavor on the finish. Interesting as an accompaniment to sushi and sashimi dishes, smoked fish, crustaceans and molluscs; also perfect with mixed medium-aged cold cuts. Authentic and refined.

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.
