Contadi Castaldi
Contadi Castaldi was founded in 1987 in Adro, in the heart of Franciacorta, from an intuition of Vittorio Moretti, already the founder of the famous winery Bellavista. The transformation of an ancient furnace, purchased due to an emotional connection with the childhood memories of his wife, marks the beginning of a success story, where memory, innovation, and entrepreneurial vision blend into a unique project.
Today Contadi Castaldi is synonymous with contemporary style, creative experimentation, and oenological excellence. It is the winery that has most revolutionized Franciacorta, maintaining a deep connection with tradition while simultaneously opening new pathways for the future of the Metodo Classico. Among its merits, it stands out for having expertly interpreted and enhanced the Satèn type, becoming a reference point for enthusiasts and connoisseurs around the world.
The estate spans a vast vineyard area and has over 7,000 square meters of modern facilities where the entire production cycle takes place: from the soft pressing of the grapes to aging on the lees in the bottle.

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.
