Franciacorta Riserva Lucrezia Castello Bonomi today finds its utmost expression in two variations: Riserva Lucrezia Etichetta Nera and Riserva Lucrezia Etichetta Bianca.
This Franciacorta stems from an intuition of the chef de cave Luigi Bersini and Professor Leonardo Valenti, one of the foremost experts in viticulture nationally and an oenological consultant for Castello Bonomi.
Each vintage presents unique characteristics due to the unrepeatable interplay of nature’s evolution, yet they share a constant: the extraordinary quality of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes.
The Pinot Noir variety, in particular, comes from the oldest vineyards of the Estate: a unique and exceptionally suited location where the vines, planted in 1985, delve their roots into the calcareous soil of Monte Orfano, imparting unique minerality and acidity.
The perfect sun exposure, ensured by the terraced structure of the vineyard, contributes to the great expressiveness of aromas that will be found in the wine, even after years.
Indeed, Franciacorta Riserva Lucrezia enjoys beautiful longevity, making them unforgettable sparkling wines over time.
Adhering to excellence in quality standards at every stage of the production process, from strictly manual harvesting to bottle aging, is the path taken to achieve ever higher peaks with this product.
