CONTADI CASTALDI

The name is a synthesis of the ancient history of Franciacorta, its 19 municipalities and their vocation for outstanding agriculture. 

An extraordinary universe of vines gave rise to the territory of Franciacorta. In the variety of its landscapes we discovered a wide range of expression, a richness of nuances, that made the creation of a new winemaking dream a real possibility.

These are the origins of Contadi Castaldi, the most highly specialized company in the art of innovation, which searched the Franciacorta region to find the most evocative vineyards and the most passionate winegrowers. After all, no two winegrowers are the same, and each of them practices and excels in different passions.

There is the Pinot nero perfectionist, the Chardonnay purist, the inventor of seemingly new vine training systems that later turn out to be the legacy of ancient know-how. There is also the poet of Pinot bianco who always manages to surprise us, straight after yet another discussion on the method of green pruning. In addition, there are the six viticultural units of Franciacorta, so different from one another that we have succumbed to the temptation of cultivating vines in each of them, determined to make them similar as regards one methodological principle: to focus on the most subtle differences and meticulously tend the vineyards by hand to ensure they are perfectly healthy and will last a long time.
