Full description
Some say that the secret to happiness takes a lifetime to discover, whilst others know that sometimes ‘just’ 12 years of patience is enough… carefully sealed inside a bottle!
Come and discover the pinnacle of winemaking excellence at Castello Bonomi in Coccaglio: you’ll stroll through the vineyards of Franciacorta’s only château and explore the cellars where time crafts masterpieces.
A unique experience, where you’ll enjoy two glasses of Franciacorta Riserva Lucrezia paired with a delicious culinary accompaniment!
What we will do
The meeting point is at the selected time at Castello Bonomi in Coccaglio, in the province of Brescia, set against the backdrop of a spectacular natural amphitheatre on the southern slopes of Monte Orfano. We will be met by our guide, who will lead us on a tour of the estate (please note that the castle is not open to the public, as it is private property) .
We’ll begin with a guided tour of the vineyards, which stretch across 32 hectares of terraced slopes up to an altitude of 275 metres, still surrounded today by an ancient wall dating from the mid-19th century. The guide will explain the unique characteristics of the area and its soil, which are ideal for producing grapes with an extraordinary character.
We’ll continue our tour by stepping inside the centuries-old cellar. Here, the guide will reveal all the secrets and stages of the renowned Franciacorta method, explaining in detail the entire production process, from winemaking to ageing.
Finally, we’ll take our seats for the highlight of the experience: a tasting of two glasses of the estate’s absolute finest, aged for a full 12 years. Specifically, we will taste a glass of Franciacorta Riserva Lucrezia ‘Etichetta Bianca ’ and a glass of Franciacorta Riserva Lucrezia ‘Etichetta Nera’.
The glasses will be served with a food pairing (included) , designed to bring out the best in the sparkling wines being tasted.
The experience will last approximately one and a half hours in total.
