Franciacorta Cuvée 1564 Brut Nature Millesimato DOCG CASTELLO BONOMI

Franciacorta Castello Bonomi is produced with a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in equal proportions, to which 10% of a native grape variety, Erbamat, is added. Erbamat grows in the highest part of the estate, on west-facing terraces. Following the manual harvest of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at the beginning of August, the limited quantities of Erbamat were harvested at the beginning of September. The grapes were then gently pressed, with separate vinification for each plot, fermentation and ageing in steel. The Chardonnay and Erbamat were then fermented and aged in barriques for 7 months, while the Pinot Noir was vinified in white and aged in steel.
