Castello Bonomi produces some “IGP Sebino” wines, red or white wines, not sparkling but as noble as “Franciacorta” sparkling ones.
Conte Foscari is a red IGP Sebino. A real “earl” (conte means earl in fact) in its class.
Colour
The colour of this wine is an attractive ruby red with violet hues.
Bouquet
Conte Foscari give off scents of red fruits like cherry, blackberry, plum, and then wild fruits of the forest.
Taste
It is succulent, with a good body and full, slightly vinous flavour. It is complex with the herbaceous notes due to the strong presence of Cabernet. Pleasant when young, it will surprise you in the long term with a positive evolution.
