Franciacorta DOCG Extra Brut 'Blanc' 2020 (750 ml.) Contadi Castaldi
Franciacorta Blanc by Contadi Castaldi is a 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Bianco cuvée, a fresh sparkling wine with a pungent minerality, born from 21 harvest variables, which come from 34 selected vineyards. The strength and beauty of plants over three decades old, with roots that sink into the multiple stratifications of the territory, to draw distinctive nutrients and unique microelements. The winery was founded in 1991 by the historic Moretti family, founder of the famous and renowned Bellavista. The sparkling wine initially ages for 7 months in steel and then 30 months on the lees. Interweavings of impalpable chalkiness, puffs of face powder, yellow citrus, almond, salt, broom and honeysuckle, are read as tension and depth, an authentic glass, free gastronomic thought. The grace of the sip is the essential stylistic figure, of which the biting vertical development is surprising.

Contadi Castaldi
Contadi Castaldi was founded in 1987 in Adro, in the beating heart of Franciacorta, from an intuition of Vittorio Moretti, founder of the famous Bellavista winery. The transformation of an old furnace, purchased for an emotional bond with his wife's childhood memories, marks the beginning of a success story, where memory, innovation and entrepreneurial vision merge into a unique project.
Today Contadi Castaldi is synonymous with contemporary style, creative experimentation and winemaking excellence. It is the winery that more than any other has been able to revolutionize Franciacorta, maintaining a deep bond with tradition and at the same time opening new paths to the future of the Classic Method.

THE COMPANY
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.
