Description

‘20/37’ is a modern hieroglyph and the synthesis of the numerical calculation of Blànc. The minimum number of harvest selections undertaken is 20, while 37 is the number of vineyards that are at least thirty-five years old, embodied in a wine that represents the value of time and the efforts of careful winemakers, in a perfect balance between man and nature, purity and complexity.

  • Start up year: 1987
  • Oenologist: Gian Luca Uccelli
  • Bottles produced: 1.600.000
  • Hectares: 174
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 grapes, Chardonnay and Pinot bianco, results in less pressure in the bottles, so that the froth is lighter and more abundant.

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
