Contadi Castaldi
"Винарната Contadi Castaldi е създадена в края на 80 -те години в красивия регион Franciacorta. Покривайки 160 хектара, тази винарна произвежда около 1300 000 бутилки годишно. Винарната е създадена от обединението на име „Контади Касталди“, което капсулира вековната история на Франсиакорта, и стара тухла и пещ, „Форнас Биаска“, закупена от Виторио Морети и съпругата му Мариела. През Средновековието Контади са били малки площи земя, известни с отличните си селскостопански продукти, докато Касталди са господарите, които управлявали тези земи. Традициите на Контади Касталди са толкова динамични, оживени и съвременни, колкото и верни на корените си."

Lombardy
Lombardy is a very large region (about 24,000 square kilometers), so there are areas with very different characteristics both in terms of climate and soils; it ranges from categorically mountainous areas, such as Valtellina, to flat or partially hilly areas, like Oltrepò Pavese, and there are also areas with a very special microclimate, such as those around Lake Garda; about half of the region's area is flat, while another 40% is mountainous; a little more than 10% of the area is hilly and therefore suitable for growing quality wines; all of this means that from the perspective of viticulture, cultivation and production vary depending on the area in question; the total area of vineyards in Lombardy is 29,000 hectares, of which 41% are in the mountains, 12% in the hills, and 47% in the plains; the wine designations of origin in Lombardy are: 5 DOCG, 23 DOC, 15 IGT; the grape varieties grown in Lombardy follow the territorial character of this vast region; in Valtellina, the main grape variety is Nebbiolo, called here Chiavennasca; other local grape varieties are Pignola, Rosola, and Brugnola, all red varieties that are rarely vinified alone and are part of the blend of classic wines from Valtellina; in Oltrepò Pavese, the most widespread grape variety is Barbera, followed by Croatina, Bonarda, and Uva Rara; Pinot Noir deserves special attention, while the white grape varieties grown here are Riesling Italico, Moscato, and Malvasia; Franciacorta, in the area of Lake Iseo, is known for growing Pinot Nero, Pinot Bianco, and Chardonnay; in the areas of Lake Garda and Colli Mantovani, grapes Groppelo, Barbera, Marzemino, and Sangiovese are grown.

Chardonnay
Chardonnay is the world's most famous white-wine grape and also one of the most widely planted. Of course, the most highly regarded expressions of the variety are those from Burgundy and California, but many high-quality examples are made in Italy, Australia, New Zealand and parts of South America. Describing the flavours of Chardonnay is not easy. This is not thanks to the complexity of the varietal itself but usually due its susceptibility to winemaking techniques - such as Malolactic fermentation which gives distinctive buttery aromas or Fermentation or maturation in oak barrels which contributes to the wine with smokey notes of vanilla, honey and even cinnamon, and not last the lees contact while in barrel imparts biscuity, doughy flavours. And all these incorporated with the varietal aromas of tropical (banana, pineapple and guava) to stone fruits (peach, nectarine and apricot), sometimes even citrus and apple notes. Climate plays a major role in dictating which fruit flavours a Chardonnay will have - warm regions (California, Australia ) make more tropical styles; temperate zones (southern Burgundy, New Zealand) - stone fruit notes, while the very coolest (Chablis, Champagne) lean towards green-apple aromas.
