Notes of sliced pears, lemon pith, cornflower, fresh nuts and hints of crushed stones. Bright, juicy and mouth-filling with a medium body and vivid acidity. Fine and delicate bubbles. Flavorful finish. Drink now.

Tasted from magnum, the Contadi Castaldi NV Franciacorta Brùt (the accent on the "u" is intentional) is a blend of 80% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Nero and 10% Pinot Bianco that sees partial malolactic fermentation and some barrique aging. This is a big production of 750,000 bottles, with fruit selected from across the estate's 160 hectares of vines. It offers a classic Franciacorta bouquet with a bright citrusy element and crushed stone followed by lightly baked aromas of pastry and bread.
