Imagine stumbling upon a hidden gem in the lush hills of Lombardy, Italy—a forgotten patch of vines tangled in ivy and wild growth. That's the origin of Castello Bonomi Franciacorta CruPerdu Brut Millesimato 2019, or BONOMI CRU PERDU FRANCIACORTA, named for that "lost vineyard" uncovered in 1986 by the estate's Chef de Cave, Luigi Bersini. From those rediscovered slopes of Monte Orfano, rising about 275 meters high in the prestigious Franciacorta DOCG, comes this elegant sparkling wine, blending 70% Chardonnay with 30% Pinot Noir for a refined expression of the region's terroir.

Pour a glass and watch the bright straw-yellow hue dance with fine, subtle bubbles, inviting your first sip. The aroma rises with intensity, weaving fruity and floral notes alongside hints of warm, freshly baked bread that promise something special. On the tongue, it unfolds with a full body balanced by vibrant freshness and lively acidity, finishing with a clean, fruity linger that keeps you reaching for more. This Brut Millesimato captures the essence of Franciacorta's sparkling tradition through the classic Metodo Classico, where gentle pressing and stainless steel fermentation lead to a second sparkle in the bottle.

At 12.5% ABV and in a standard 750 ml bottle, it's a versatile choice for any occasion. Chill it to 6-8°C and let it shine as an aperitif, or pair it with delicate shellfish, light fish dishes, or creamy mild cheeses that complement its crisp profile. Whether celebrating a quiet evening or toasting with friends, BONOMI CRU PERDU FRANCIACORTA brings the story of discovery and the sparkle of Lombardy right to your table. With its dry sweetness level, it delivers pure enjoyment without overwhelming, making it ideal for those who appreciate Italian sparkling wines with depth and history.
