In a region built on tradition, Contadi Castaldi helped redefine what modern Franciacorta could be. Founded in 1987 by Vittorio Moretti, the project began not in a vineyard but within the walls of the historic Fornace Biasca brickworks in Adro, a nineteenth-century industrial landmark transformed into a winery at the heart of Franciacorta. Today, Contadi Castaldi draws on a vast mosaic of vineyard sites across the denomination, combining detailed terroir knowledge, meticulous blending and extended lees ageing to craft sparkling wines that are both accessible and distinctly regional. The result is a contemporary expression of Franciacorta—precise, vibrant and rooted in one of Italy’s most important sparkling wine regions.
