Description
Franciacorta Brut, like vibration of light, movement and transformation. Little bubbles that transmit joy and transgression. An explosion of sensations giving pleasure and colour to life. Man plays the leading role, with his thoughts and plans. With his interpretation of the land explored in all its most traditional varieties, that come together in the glass, with their excesses refined and in their virtues enhanced.

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
