THE COMPANY
Contadi Castaldi was established in 1987 in Adro, when Vittorio Moretti, already the owner of the Bellavista winery, decided to transform an old kiln he had purchased, which was linked to his wife's childhood memories, into a sparkling wine house. It became a famous and innovative winery in Franciacorta capable of combining charm, experimentation, modernity, and excellence, thanks to the ancient and deeply rooted passion for wine of the Moretti family, combined with extraordinary entrepreneurial expertise.
One of the merits of this Franciacorta reality has been, for example, deepening and developing the concept of Satèn, which is why the winery has become a major reference point for this type.
Currently, the wineries have a large vineyard area and about 7,000 square meters of indoor spaces that host the entire production cycle, from pressing the grapes to aging on the lees in bottles according to the Classic Method. Significant investments are dedicated to research and experimentation, also stimulated by organizing wine training masterclasses.
