The vineyards are trained using the Guyot system and the vines sink their roots into a \u003cstrong\u003estony and moderately calcareous soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, which ensures optimal drainage. The ventilated position of the plots allows the bunches to reach a consistent and regular ripeness.

In the winery, the process begins with a brief \u003cstrong\u003ecold maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by gentle pressing of the grapes. The first fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, accompanied by a partially completed malolactic fermentation. The base wine rests for seven months between steel and \u003cstrong\u003ebarrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. The secondary fermentation in the bottle, as required by the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e, is followed by a slow \u003cstrong\u003eageing on the lees\u003c\/strong\u003e that lasts from twenty-four to thirty months. At the end of this phase, disgorgement and a final rest in the cellar give the wine its definitive balance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1987 by the Moretti family, Contadi Castaldi embodies the vibrant and contemporary spirit of \u003cstrong\u003eFranciacorta DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e.
