The Bonfadini farm was started in 1956 by Grandfather Giovanni. In 1993 Graziano, one of Giovanni's seven children, took over the farm and continued to cultivate the vineyards and sell the grapes to large wine producers in Franciacorta; but in the back of his mind he always wanted to create something special with his own grapes.
In 2007 Francesca, Graziano’s daughter, wanting to honor the work of her grandfather and her father decided to start producing and bottling their own wines. Nobilium Brut was introduced to the market in 2010 as the first Franciacorta and D.O.C.G. Bonfadini was an immediate success.
However, this was not enough for Francesca. Her constant attention to the finest details of all aspects of the wine business: from the growing of the grapes, vinification, aging, aesthetic aspects of the packaging and marketing meant that from the first year’s initial 5,000 bottles, Bonfadini grew to 50,000 bottles in 2015, with four very distinct classical wines.
With the addition of winemaker Gianni Gasperi in 2013, Bonfadini succeeded in establishing its own distinctive identity and since then the wines have received many awards and positive feedback, both in Italy and abroad.
They continue to grow with Bonfadini is investing resources to equip the winery to produce up to 100,000 bottles a year.
New types of Franciacorta wines will be introduced and, as always, Bonfadini will maintain its highest standards of excellence.
