The makeup and
secrets of
the rolling
hills

Logo The zoning of the Franciacorta viticultural area showed that the area consisted of six viticultural units. In each of them, vines and wines give rise to different expressions. Contadi Castaldi highlights and enhances such potential, with the purpose of creating a wine that can express the multiple nuances of this terroir.

Zoning is the study of the geological, pedological, morphological, climatic and agronomic features of a territory, indicating its suitability for one of more potential uses.

Fine deposits

Very high potential for floral aromas and olfactory persistence, modest potential for spice-vegetal and dried fruit, low complexity.

Fluvioglacial

Very high potential for dried fruit, moderate for floral, spice-vegetal and persistence, medium complexity as well.

Distal colluvial

High potential for floral notes, medium potential for all the other variables, medium-low complexity.

Deep morainic

Very high potential for dried fruit notes, high for spice-vegetal and persistence, low floral notes, medium-high complexity.

Graded colluvial

Very high potential for persistence, high for spice-vegetal and dried fruit, low for floral and very high complexity.

Thin morainic

Very high potential for spice-vegetal notes, medium for dried fruit and persistence, low for floral, high complexity.
