Franciacorta DOCG Dosaggio Zero 2019 (750 ml.) Contadi Castaldi
The Franciacorta Zèro by Contadi Castaldi is a cuvée made of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir, originating from an extraordinary morainic soil that gives the grape and the wine its savory flavor, along with great personality and precision in the taste profile. For the Zèro 2019, there are 22 selections from the harvest and 29 vineyards that make up its sensory heritage, expressing a vintage that has given rise to an energetic, powerful, and structured wine, yet also pleasant and easy to drink. 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 38-42 months, followed by an additional 6 months after disgorgement. Complex in aromas, with notes of grapefruit, blackcurrant, and walnut husk, along with unusual hints of bay leaf and green tobacco. Well-structured and clear on the palate, it finishes long and pleasantly persistent.

THE COMPANY
Contadi Castaldi was founded in 1987 in Adro, when Vittorio Moretti, already the owner of the Bellavista winery, decided to transform an old kiln he had purchased due to its connection to his wife's childhood memories into a sparkling wine house. It became a famous and innovative winery in Franciacorta, able to combine charm, experimentation, modernity, and excellence, thanks to the ancient and deeply rooted passion for wine of the Moretti family, along with extraordinary entrepreneurial skills.
One of the merits of this Franciacorta reality has been, for example, the deepening and development of the concept of Satèn, and for this reason, the winery has become a major reference point for this type.
Currently, the wineries have a large park of vineyards 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 the bottle according to the Classic Method. Significant investments are reserved for research and experimentation, also stimulated through the organization of wine training masterclasses.
