Contadi Castaldi Franciacorta Satèn 2019
Contadi Castaldi creates from its Chardonnay the most authentic and elegant version of its Franciacorta wines, in which it is not strength or sugar that gives softness, but the raw material.

The 2019 harvest brought a perfect raw material to the cellar for our Satèn, a plentiful grape with a very linear ripening, which allowed us to rediscover exceptional balances of depth and roundness that had not been found in previous vintages. A vintage that we managed carefully, especially in the aspects of alcohol content and the development of certain aromas, succeeding in preserving and guaranteeing those delicate and refined floral scents that will characterise the sensory profile of this cuvée.

The 2019 Satèn is elegance that becomes wine, with its light refinement, the vanguard of Contadi Castaldi's philosophy and its interpretation of the territory. (Gian Luca Uccelli - Oenologist and General Manager of Contadi Castaldi)

Perlage

Fine and persistent perlage.

Colour

Straw yellow.

Bouquet

The nose is fresh and elegant, with clean scents of hawthorn, bread crust, balsamic notes, nuances of rennet apple, dried figs and peanuts.

Flavour

Soft in the mouth, but not sweet, it has a fresh and pleasant flavour. The finish is long and decisive, with a very pleasant taste.

Pairing

Starters
Fish
Shellfish

History Our wine labels, with their black background and fluorescent lettering, are the emblem of Contadi Castaldi. A winery that has chosen to narrate itself with contemporary language, where innovation is not just research and study, but a deliberately convivial and dynamic "state of mind". The name of each wine has an accent and each accent has a colour. Orange, which has characterised Satèn for several years with the intention of conveying topicality to the brand, now becomes a foil. It is enriched with a precious material, a useful element to decree the value of this wine, a leading vintage in Franciacorta.

Contadi Castaldi

In an attractive industrial building in Franciacorta, where they made bricks from the earth, Contadi Castaldi perfected the concept of Satèn, by bringing two French canons, blanc de blanc and crémant together in one wine. The choice of only white gra...
