Description
Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero Riserva, produced by Contadi Castaldi, 12.5% ABV, 100% Pinot Noir, 2017 vintage. A Franciacorta born from the passion of Vittorio Moretti, founder of Contadi Castaldi, to create a perfect blend of modernity, experimentation, and excellence. The bouquet is expansive: citrus, pink grapefruit, wild strawberry, white flowers, lime, acacia honey, and green oregano. Straw yellow with light orange highlights. On the palate, it is crisp, fruity, and fresh with notes of wild citrus fruits. Fine and persistent perlage.

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
