The Contadi Castaldi Franciacorta Brut is a masterpiece of refinement and elegance, reflecting the essence of the Franciacorta region. Made with the typical white grapes of this region, it creates a fresh and flavorful wine.

Long-term maturation for Contadi Castaldi Franciacorta Brut

The history of Contadi Castaldi began in the early 1980s, when a group of winemakers decided to join forces and focus on producing sparkling wines of exceptional quality. Since then, the winery has built a strong reputation for its dedication to excellence at every stage of the winemaking process. Contadi Castaldi utilizes modern techniques and traditional methods to produce wines of excellence. Contadi Castaldi Franciacorta Brut is produced using the region's typical grape varieties: 80 percent Chardonnay, 10 percent Pinot Noir, and 10 percent Pinot Blanc. The grapes are harvested in late August and early September. After a soft pressing, they undergo alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts for approximately 20 days. Part of the wine then undergoes partial malolactic fermentation. The wine's first aging lasts seven months, with some aging in stainless steel tanks and some in barriques. The wine is then transferred to bottle for a second fermentation on the fine lees, which lasts between 20 and 26 months. After this, the sparkling wine is aged in bottle for another three to four months.

Enjoy the fresh Contadi Castaldi Franciacorta Brut

Contadi Castaldi Franciacorta Brut is a sparkling, youthful brut with fine, long-lasting bubbles, straw-yellow in color with greenish hues in the glass. The aroma of this Contadi Castaldi Spumante Brùt reveals fresh aromas of lime blossom, accompanied by hints of citrus, white peach, and green pepper. The wine is delightfully tense, crisp and fresh, yet flavorful and refined. The finish is very pleasant and long-lasting, allowing you to savor every sip.
