Description
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)

Satèn means silkiness, a sensation that transferred from touch to the palate and can be rendered with creaminess even though this doesn’t convey the freshness of Satèn Contadi Castaldi. How can we describe it? Maybe by taking a step back and staying with the expression “like silk”. Anything that is able to evoke the full-bodied lightness, the depth of thought, the princely humour that is as delicate as it is politely fickle, a graceful smile or a gesture that sows questions.
So, we're almost there. If we squeeze into a single image the impression of freshness, softness, immediacy, charging it with the absolute yellow of gold, we cannot but define what is young, who or who feels young. Satèn evokes that malice still lacking in contrasts, a free richness, the ease of wanting with joy. Read more

| Story | 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. |
