A great classic, among the classic methods of Franciacorta. Forgive the innocent play on words but, never as in this case, we are faced with a bottle that represents in the imagination of every wine lover the true essence of the Franciacorta method. Chardonnay in clear predominance over Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc, this Brut by Contadi Castaldi is the perfect companion for refined aperitifs and dinners with friends. In the cellar there is a lot of attention. From the maniacal selection of the best bunches of grapes to the rigorous control of the cold chain at every stage of processing to preserve the best scents of the grapes. The malolactic fermentation, which is partially carried out, also guarantees the complexity of the final result. The result is a bubble characterized by a beautiful straw yellow colour with greenish reflections. The nose is fresh, with floral, citrus and fruity notes. The taste is crisp, with a nice acidity and a satisfying flavor.

Zèro is the Pas Dosé, i.e. the driest of the sparkling wines produced by Contadi Castaldi. A Franciacorta made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, grown in the heart of the territory of origin. One of the most representative wines of the company that is produced following a strict protocol to ensure style and quality. After a soft pressing to extract only the best part of the juice from the grapes, separate alcoholic fermentation of the two grapes takes place in steel. The wines obtained are left in contact with their own yeasts for a period of at least seven months, necessary to make them richer and more complex. During the same period, malolactic conversion is promoted, giving the base wines greater structure and softness. This is followed by blending and bottling and maturation on the lees for no less than 36 months, at the end of which disgorgement takes place and only wine is added to fill the bottle. There is no addition of sugar to alter or soften the wine. No artifice, no shortcuts. The result, however, satisfies the palate and the spirit. In the mouth, in fact, is pleasantly dry and very defined. Enveloping, savoury and above all long, in fact extremely long. A bubble that knows how to make us feel good.

Satèn is a word invented by producers from Franciacorta to describe Blanc de Blancs sparkling wines, that is produced exclusively with white berried grapes, and characterized by a slightly lower pressure in the bottle than usual. The most special Franciacorta wines are born from the encounter of elegant and perfumed wines derived from Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco grapes, and more subtle and less aggressive bubbles in the mouth. This innovative style was born thanks to the intuition and experimentation of a few visionary wineries in the Brescia area. Among this Contadi Castaldi that, since then, has made this Satèn one of the top products of its range. Pure Chardonnay grapes harvested at full maturity, this Franciacorta is aged on the lees for over three years. A necessary time for it to reach the right complexity and the desired richness. In the glass it is a classic bright straw yellow colour, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. The nose is fresh and elegant, with notes of flowers, citrus and especially typical bread crust.
