Description
Small but mighty! Franciacorta has around 3,000 hectares of vineyards, just a tenth of the size of Champagne. However, some of Italy's best sparkling wines are produced here using bottle fermentation - such as this fantastic vintage sparkling wine from Castello Bonomi. Ripe citrus fruit, strawberry, redcurrant. Fresh, crisp and expressive on the palate with a lively perlage. A rosato with plenty of character! A sparkling accompaniment to sushi and smoked salmon canapés or grissini with Parma ham. But also makes an antipasti platter happy.

Italy
Italy – Where wine is a way of life
The Italian wine regions are extremely diverse, and this is made clear in their wines. Established varieties such as Merlot, Syrah, and Sauvignon can be found on just 15 percent of the total vine growing area. The remaining 85 percent is reserved for autochthonous, indigenous varieties. More than 2,000 different grape varieties are grown under diverse conditions and pressed with various techniques into wines that reach the top tier of the international wine market.
