Description
CruPerdu Grande Annata 2016 is one of the best vintages in Franciacorta in terms of quality. The limited production quantities allowed us to concentrate on creating a Franciacorta with great perspective. CruPerdu Grande Annata is made from Chardonnay (70%) and Pinot Noir (30%) of the same vintage. Only in the best vintages do the grapes of these two varieties achieve a particular acidic structure and savouriness, characteristics that are also found in the wine, giving it greater complexity and longevity. When these peculiarities are confirmed after at least 48 months on the lees, a limited number of bottles are selected and left to rest for another year before being sold.

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
