Castello Bonomi

The Castello Bonomi estate, owned by the Paladin family, covers an area of 24 hectares in Franciacorta. The vineyards are enclosed in the marvellous natural amphitheatre of Monte Orfano, and stretch out up to 275 metres above sea level with south, south-east, south-west exposure, in the municipality of Coccaglio. Situated on hilly terrain, the vineyards enjoy a particular microclimate with cool temperate influences that gives the area specific and unique characteristics that allow the grapes to ripen in the optimum manner. The chosen cultivation system and planting layout ensure low production and high quality of the grapes, which come from French rooted vines. Harvesting is conducted entirely by hand, and the yield per hectare is deliberately low: every little detail exemplifies the high quality of each grape. Castello Bonomi owes its name to an Art Nouveau building dating back to the late 19th century: it is the only Chateau in Franciacorta, and now the headquarters of the winery, surrounded by the splendid setting of a terraced garden. The Lombardy winery's range of sparkling wines stand out for their elegance, complex character and mineral flavour, resulting from the magic of the place and the dedication of the winemaking family. Name and address of producer/distributor: Castello Bonomi - Via San Pietro, 46, 25030 Coccaglio BS. Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
