One of the numerous quarries in the area gave birth to the Biasca furnace, the ancient building that now houses the Contadi Castaldi winery. 

When, in the 1980s, Franciacorta was at the peak of its development, Vittorio and Mariella Moretti decided together to convert the furnace into a cellar. Its large volumes and long brick firing galleries proved to be perfect for refining Franciacortas and welcoming wine enthusiasts.

Thus, the ancient workplace has changed its functionality by turning to the land and the vineyard, but has not betrayed its origins while keeping intact the sobriety and serene style of the Lombard farms.
