Produced in Adro, it reflects the region’s sparkling-wine heritage through an elegant style shaped by Chardonnay and extended lees ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine shows a delicate, persistent bead. Its aromas bring together hawthorn, Renetta apple and bread crust, with balsamic nuances and a light toasted note. On the palate, a silky softness is balanced by freshness and fullness, finishing with a distinctive mineral impression.\n\nIts lees ageing lends texture and complexity. Enjoy it while its freshness and fine mousse are prominent; the supplied information does not specify a precise further ageing window.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chardonnay comes from vineyards in Adro, with fruit from different parcels contributing to the blend. The Sottomonte hill brings freshness, while the slopes around Erbusco add elegance; limestone hillsides and east-facing terraces contribute structure, spice and ripe-fruit character. After gentle pressing and cool static settling, the must ferments in stainless steel, with partial malolactic fermentation. The wine matures for seven months in stainless steel and barrels, then undergoes a second fermentation in bottle and spends 30–36 months on its lees before disgorgement and Brut dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled, around 6–8°C, with raw shellfish and molluscs, where its freshness and mineral finish complement their delicate flavours. It also suits other simply prepared seafood. Decanting is not usually necessary for this fine-bubbled sparkling wine; open shortly before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in Adro by Vittorio Moretti, Contadi Castaldi is rooted in Franciacorta and brings a modern visual identity to the region’s sparkling-wine tradition.
