Castello Bonomi "Cruperdu" Franciacorta Brut

Elegant. Complex. Franciacorta’s finest vintage expression.
In the serene heart of Franciacorta, Castello Bonomi crafts some of Italy’s most refined sparkling wines — and Cruperdu stands as a symbol of its mastery. This prestige cuvée is born from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes grown on the sun-drenched slopes of Monte Orfano, where meticulous viticulture and long bottle ageing bring forth extraordinary finesse.

After a minimum of 36 months on the lees, Cruperdu reveals a delicate, persistent perlage and a golden hue that shimmers with elegance. The bouquet is rich yet composed — toasted brioche, candied citrus, white flowers, and almond. On the palate, it’s creamy and complex, with an exquisite balance of minerality and mature fruit leading to a long, graceful finish.

For those in Ireland who appreciate Champagne’s grandeur but seek Italian soul, Cruperdu offers that rare equilibrium between luxury and authenticity — a sparkling wine that turns any moment into celebration.

Why we love it:
CruPerdu is vintage Franciacorta at its best — vibrant yet profound, with chalky acidity and creamy depth in perfect harmony. A glass of this in Ireland feels celebratory and contemplative: crisp bubbles meet layered aromas, making it a dreamy choice for fine dining or quiet reflection.
