It originates in the heart of \u003cstrong\u003eFranciacorta\u003c\/strong\u003e, in Lombardy, a hilly region characterized by morainic soils of glacial origin that give the wines an unmistakable mineral freshness. The denomination \u003cstrong\u003eDosaggio Zero\u003c\/strong\u003e indicates the absence of added sugars after disgorgement, a choice that enhances the purity and authenticity of the grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 vintage was balanced and regular: a moderately cold winter, a mild spring, and a dry summer allowed for a high-quality \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Noir harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e. Temperature excursions between day and night helped preserve acidity and aromas, essential elements for obtaining an elegant and precise Franciacorta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eFranciacorta Dosaggio Zero DOCG 2019 - Contadi Castaldi\u003c\/strong\u003e is produced using the classic method, starting from a selection of hand-picked Pinot Noir grapes.

This long contact with the yeasts enriches the aromatic profile and adds complexity. Disgorgement without final dosage allows the wine's natural freshness and minerality to emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero DOCG 2019 - Contadi Castaldi presents a \u003cstrong\u003ebrilliant straw yellow\u003c\/strong\u003e with golden reflections, enriched by a fine and continuous perlage that testifies to careful and high-quality craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, it reveals broad and clear aromas: citrus and white floral notes blend with hints of bread crust and slight toasted nuances resulting from the long aging.
