"Contadi Castaldi": this name encapsulates the long history of Franciacorta, its municipalities and their vocation for exceptional agriculture. In the 1500s, the heyday of the Venetian Republic, Franciacorta produced food and wine destined for the tables of princes, kings and rich merchants. The splendid Venice was the market of choice for Franciacorta to make its wines known. In the Middle Ages, the 'contadi' were the counties of Franciacorta, small territorial units renamed for excellent agricultural production. The 'castaldi' were the lords of the counties to whom the government of the lands was entrusted.
Franciacorta is the area in which the Contadi winery and vineyards are located, a land intrinsically devoted to wine.
Looking at the bottles resting inside the tunnels, the round symbol is a visual representation of the particular bottom of the bottles destined for Franciacorta, while the second sign reproduces the shape of the vacuum created in the interspaces of the stacks. A juxtaposition that, by referring to the double name of the winery, draws attention to the value of the natural and slow development of CO2 to reach, through a fine and persistent perlage, the deepest and broadest nuances of taste.
