Castello Bonomi Franciacorta Etichetta Nera Extra Brut Riserva Lucrezia 2011

Castello Bonomi’s Franciacorta Etichetta Nera Extra Brut Riserva Lucrezia 2011 is a benchmark sparkling wine from one of Franciacorta’s most highly regarded producers. Made entirely from Pinot Noir and released only after extended lees aging, it combines precision, depth, and remarkable longevity in a wine that has earned some of Italy’s most prestigious accolades.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a refined, elegant mousse with a luminous golden hue and fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is layered and complex, with notes of ripe citrus, white flowers, toasted bread, hazelnut, and subtle hints of orchard fruit and spice. On the palate, it is dry, focused, and beautifully structured, with the richness of Pinot Noir balanced by vibrant freshness and a savory, mineral finish. The long aging brings added complexity and depth, and this Riserva has the concentration and balance to continue evolving gracefully over time.

Production
Produced in the rolling hills of Franciacorta in Lombardy, where the cool climate and mineral-rich soils help preserve freshness and aromatic precision, this wine comes from a meticulous selection of Pinot Noir grapes. Harvesting is done by hand to ensure only the healthiest bunches are used, followed by traditional sparkling-wine vinification and extended bottle aging to build texture, complexity, and finesse.

Food & Serving
This Franciacorta pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as shellfish, oysters, sashimi, roast poultry, risotto, and aged hard cheeses. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and consider brief decanting only if you want to gently open its more complex aromatic layers—though it is generally best enjoyed straight from the bottle.

Producer
Castello Bonomi is one of the standout names in Franciacorta, known for combining precision winemaking with a deep respect for the character of the region. The estate has built a strong reputation for producing some of the area’s most awarded sparkling wines, including multiple top Italian wine-guide recognitions, and Lucrezia has become one of its flagship expressions.
