The name Contadi
Castaldi is a synthesis
of the ancient
history of
Franciacorta
The name is a synthesis of the ancient history of Franciacorta, its 19 municipalities and their vocation for outstanding agriculture. In 1500, when the Venetian Republic was at the height of its splendour, Franciacorta produced food and wine destined for the tables of princes, kings and rich merchants.
For Franciacorta, the beautiful city of Venice was the market of choice for introducing its wines.

In medieval times the “contadi” were the counties of Franciacorta, small areas of land known for their outstanding agricultural products.
The “castaldi” were the lords of the counties, responsible for governing the lands.
Franciacorta, a land intrinsically perfect for winemaking, is where Contadi Castaldi’s vineyards and wine cellars are located.

detail
If you look at the bottles at rest inside the tunnels, the round symbol is the visual representation of the particular bottom of the bottles intended for Franciacorta, while the second sign reproduces the shape of the void that is created in the interspaces of the stacks. A combination that, referring to the double name of the winery, focuses on the value of the natural and slow development of CO2 to reach, through a fine and persistent perlage, the deepest and most ample nuances of taste.
