Castellino
Castellino's fairy tale castle sits at
the foot of Monte Orfano with 24 hectares (13 planted to
vines) in Coccaglio, one of Franciacorta’s most prized
sites. This southern area enjoys a unique terroir with better
exposure and hotter temperatures than other zones, and the
Bonomi family oversees ripening patterns so perfect they
regularly draw experts and students from the University
of Milan, who inspect and marvel at the vines. The passion
of owners Marino, Sandro, and Fausto Bonomi has driven the
evolution of Tenuta Castellino into one of the region's
leading producers. Luca d'Attoma conceptualized 'Super Lombardy'
reds to complement the estate's classic, top-notch sparklers,
and new enologist Leonardo Valentini unfalteringly continued
his work producing Castellino's rich, structured wines that
age exclusively in French oak barriques.
