The Facts

Origins Italy > Lombardy > Franciacorta
Appellation Franciacorta
Varietal Chardonnay
Cepage 70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir
Winemaking We worked with parcelling of the grapes and subsequent fractioning of the musts. The yields in the press did not exceed 55%, thus guaranteeing qualitative extraction. Part of the Chardonnay fermented and aged in barriques, while the Pinot Noir fermented and aged in steel. Batonnage was long and frequent both in tank and in barrique. The acidity and pH levels were excellent.
Aging over 72 months
Markets Texas, National

The Character
Overall Complex and nuanced
Aromas Baked bread, hawthorn, lime blossom, tropical and balsamic
Mouthfeel A fine, persistent perlage, complex
Tasting Notes The 2016 vintage guaranteed wines with a great aromatic and taste profile, the most interesting aspect of the vintage being its great predisposition to ageing. Notes of white-fleshed fruit and tropical fruit stand out on the nose, which, with time, give way to a distinct balsamic character. Great balance and finesse in the perlage.
Selling Point a Franciacorta Riserva with great ageing potential

The Story
It was the summer of 1986 when Luigi Bersini, chef de cave at Bonomi, leaving the vineyards to go into the woods, found between ivy and selvatic shrubs some vine plants. He discovered that the woods, over the years, had taken possession of a portion of land hiding an old vineyard. The passion and love for the earth convinced the forest to retreat to allow a second life to these old vineyards. The lost vineyard, the CruPedru, gives the name to this beautiful cuvée.
