Contadi Castaldi is one of the most famous wineries in Franciacorta that has managed to create a perfect blend of modernity, experimentation and excellence. It was founded in 1991 by Vittorio Moretti, former founder of the Bellavista winery, in Ardo: there the well-known entrepreneur transformed an old furnace into a sparkling wine house. The long galleries and large spaces once used for baking bricks and mortar were perfect for ageing sparkling wines, quickly becoming one of the most innovative and vital centres in the area. Although this is a young winery, it is the fruit of the Moretti family's long-standing experience and love of wine. The merit of Contadi Castaldi's Franciacorta production lies in having succeeded in deepening the concept of satèn, a term that indicates brut blanc de blancs sparkling wines, characterised by a lower pressure inside the bottle, which makes them creamy and silky, thanks to the presence of light, soft bubbles. xtraWine dedicates a large section to Contadi Castaldi products, proposing only labels from the best vintages, with an ageing capacity ranging from 5 to 15 years. All the Contadi Castaldi bottles on xtraWine recall the inventive spirit of a company that, more than any other, has managed to specialise in the field of innovation.
