Description and technical sheet
The Franciacorta DOCG Brut by Contadi Castaldi represents an icon of elegance and quality in the Italian sparkling wine scene. Produced in the renowned Franciacorta region, this sparkling wine is the result of a meticulous selection of Chardonnay (80%), Pinot Noir (10%), and Pinot Blanc (10%) grapes, cultivated on moraine soils characterized by mineral richness and natural drainage. The winemaking process follows the traditional method, with the wine maturing on the lees for at least 20-26 months, developing aromatic complexity and refined structure. Contadi Castaldi is a winery that combines innovation with environmental respect, maintaining a distinctive style that enhances the territory's unique features. This Franciacorta Brut is a versatile expression, perfect for celebratory moments as well as pairing with various Italian dishes, from light appetizers to shellfish, delicate first courses, and white meats.
Franciacorta DOCG Brut - Contadi Castaldi: Tasting Notes
In the glass, it reveals a bright straw-yellow color and a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, it offers notes of white fruit, citrus, and wildflowers, enriched by subtle hints of bread crust and almond. The palate is fresh and harmonious, with an elegant sapidity and well-balanced structure. The finish is long, delicate, and enveloping, making every sip a moment of pure pleasure.
