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

| Story | CruPerdu is made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes of the same vintage. In the summer of 1986, Luigi Bersini, Chef de Cave at Bonomi, leaving the vineyards to head into the woods, spotted some vines among the ivy and wild shrubs. He discovered that the forest had taken over a portion of land over the years, hiding an old vineyard. Passion and love for the land convinced the forest to retreat to allow those precious rows of vines a second life. The lost vineyard, CruPedru, gives its name to this splendid cuvée. |
