The Franciacorta Brut DOCG by Contadi Castaldi represents a prestigious example of this celebrated Italian denomination. Crafted with a careful selection of Chardonnay, Pinot Nero, and Pinot Bianco grapes, this sparkling wine epitomizes the elegance and finesse characteristic of the finest Franciacorta.
Visually, the Franciacorta Brut DOCG from Contadi Castaldi displays a bright straw-yellow color, animated by a fine and persistent perlage that enchants the eye. On the nose, it opens intensely, offering aromatic nuances of fresh fruit such as apple and peach, followed by subtle hints of yeast and toasted bread, a result of the long fermentation on the lees.
On the palate, the wine is rich and complex. The attack is fresh, well-balanced by excellent acidity that harmoniously blends with the creaminess of the perlage. The finish is clean, with an aftertaste that invites another sip, revealing notes of almond and citrus in the persistent finale.
This cuvée is the result of a rigorous winemaking process: the Traditional or Classic Method, which involves a second fermentation in the bottle, followed by at least 18 months of maturation on the lees. This method endows the Franciacorta Brut DOCG with complexity and structure, making it suitable both as an aperitif and in pairing with a wide range of dishes, from light appetizers to seafood.
Contadi Castaldi, with this Franciacorta Brut DOCG, continues its tradition of producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of Franciacorta and the Italian craftsmanship in the world of sparkling winemaking.
