In the Vineyard
From the ancient vineyards of Castello Bonomi, located at 250 meters above sea level, comes an exclusive Franciacorta made from 100% Pinot Noir. The cuvée is produced only in exceptional vintages, when the ripeness of the grapes reaches a balance that ensures longevity and perfect harmony.
For this 2004 Riserva, the harvest took place in the second ten days of August, with a meticulous selection of the bunches.

In the Cellar
Through gentle pressing, only the free-run must (the “flower” of the must) is extracted, and vinification takes place using cold techniques.
The wine completes its first fermentation and, after 8 months of rest on its own lees, is ready for blending and sparkling wine production (May 2005).
Lucrezia Etichetta Nera 2004 was first released in 2014.

Tasting Notes
The perlage is very fine and persistent, with a well-integrated mousse
and a tight, continuous bead. On the nose, candied citrus, balsamic
notes of conifer and rosemary, ripe yellow fruit, and delicate toasted
hints of walnut and hazelnut unfold.
On the palate it reveals great persistence and finesse, with well-integrated acidity and pronounced
savoriness that highlights the terroir of Monte Orfano. The aftertaste
echoes the balsamic and fruity notes, finishing on toasted hazelnut
butter.

Plus
Given its exceptional quality and great aging potential, Chef de Cave
Luigi Bersini decided to keep a batch aging on the lees. Every year, a
tasting was carried out to monitor its evolutionary potential, and after a
long wait, in 2026 Lucrezia boasts an aging of 242 months on the lees,
with disgorgement in July 2025.
It was then left to rest for a further extended period of 15 months in
order to achieve its perfect harmony.

Food Pairings
A Franciacorta for special occasions, it pairs perfectly with dishes and
ingredients that have a rich, bold flavor, such as Pata Negra, Grana
Padano, and foie gras.
