Franciacorta Blanc de Blanc Brut Cuvee 22

Description

Organic Franciacorta Blanc de Blanc brut, produced in Lombardy by Castello Bonomi. 12.5% ABV, 100% Chardonnay. A wine born on the slopes of Monte Orfano, a jewel in a wonderful treasure chest. Fruit—pineapple, peach, and apricot—combine with aromas of apple, acacia blossom, and dried fruit. A fresh, soft, and silky wine with an aftertaste that recalls the sensations perceived on the nose. The 22 crus are vinified individually to create the optimal conditions for each batch. Fermentation occurs cold, and the wines are then left on the lees and constantly monitored. The blend is the result of the meticulous work of the Cellar Master, including all the crus, followed by secondary fermentation, contact with the lees, and finally bottle aging. Cuvée 22 aspires to hold a place of honor among our Franciacortas and was born from a challenge by our Cellar Master Luigi Bersini.

The name Franciacorta has its roots in the Middle Ages, when these lands were entrusted to small communities of Benedictine monks, exempted (francae) by taxes (curtes), so that they were reclaimed and cultivated.

Here the first wine was born, in the 13th century, four hundred years before that in Champagne. A land of abbeys and priories, this moraine area bounded by Monte Orfano, Monte Alto and the hills of Lake Iseo, knows had its first major development in wine production in the second half of 800, when the historian Gabriele Rosa defined it as a land of "excellent black and white wines". Castello Bonomi lies on the slopes of Monte Orfano, a jewel in a marvelous casket, the only Chateau of Franciacorta. The Castello Bonomi estate takes its name from the original Art Nouveau building designed by architect Antonio Tagliaferri at the end of 800.

The rennovation of the historic cellars combined with the creation of new underground spaces has provided the Castello Bonomi estate with cellars that total an area of ??more than 1500 square meters.

The annual production of the company is about 150 thousand bottles: 100 thousand of Franciacorta CruPerdu, Satèn, Rosé, Millesimato, Cuvée Lucrezia and Lucrezia Etichetta Nera, Cuvée del Laureato; the rest divided between the Curtefranca: Solicano, Conte Foscari and Cordelio. Read more
