Description
What kind of wine it is
Franciacorta Rosé Brut by Castello Bonomi is an organic wine produced according to the principles of the Traditional Method, capable of expressing an elegant and refined profile. Made from Pinot Noir grapes, it displays a pleasant pink hue enhanced by golden reflections. On the palate, it reveals a broad and lively character, with a balanced perlage that accompanies notes of red fruits towards a harmonious, clean and distinctly fresh finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Lombardy, in the Franciacorta area, on the slopes of Monte Orfano. In this region, the vineyards of Castello Bonomi benefit from ideal conditions to enhance the natural vocation of the grape variety. The hilly identity gives this Franciacorta Rosé Brut a complex bouquet, characterised by intense wild strawberry notes, rose aromas, hints of toasted bread and a refined balsamic component.
How it is produced
Vinification begins with gentle pressing and cold maceration, essential for optimal extraction of colour and aromas. After fermentation in stainless steel, the base wine matures for six months. The prise de mousse involves a long ageing on the lees of over thirty-six months, as required by the Traditional Method, before disgorgement.

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
