Franciacorta Dosage Zero DOCG Millesimato 2016 Castello Bonomi

The Franciacorta Dosage Zéro Millesimato of Castello Bonomi, was born in the vineyards of the Lombard company, located in the beautiful hills of the southernmost area of Franciacorta. It represents the softer Brut of Castello Bonomi.

Made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, manually harvested in small crates and meticulously selected bunch by bunch, this bubble is extracted by a soft pressing of the grapes and ferments half in steel, Pinot Noir, and half in oak barrels, Chardonnay. After second fermentation according to Metodo Classico, this cuvée ages in bottle for 48 months before disgorgement and refines for another 10 months in glass, before being released on the market.

It has a bright straw yellow colour and a fine and persistent perlage. The nose opens with notes of white fruits and vanilla, well accompanied by citrus and vegetable nuances. Finally, the notes of freshly baked bread crust stand out. In the mouth it is silky and satisfying, with a beautiful overall harmony and a clearly perceptible freshness.

Special with raw fish and shellfish, excellent with important dishes such as creamed cod and a good sarago carpaccio.
