Franciacorta DOCG Riserva “Pinònero Natura” 2017 by Contadi Castaldi is crafted from Pinot Nero grapes grown exclusively in the renowned Franciacorta area, on morainic soils rich in minerals that impart finesse, tension, and depth. The 2017 vintage, marked by warm weather and balanced ripening, ensured healthy, concentrated clusters. After gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation, it ages over 60 months on the lees with no dosage. Pale straw yellow in color with slightly orange reflections, it shows a fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet is broad, with citrus fruits, pink grapefruit, wild strawberry, white flowers, lime, acacia honey, and green oregano. On the palate it is crisp, fruity, and fresh, with citrus notes and a savory, persistent finish.

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 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.
