Description

History

Casa Caterina is a small winery managed by the Del Bono family in Monticelli Brusati, in Franciacorta. Today those involved in producing excellent quality wines are Aurelio and Emilio, Caterina’s sons, who conquered the reins of the company thanks to their knowledge concerning the field of viticulture and oenology. In terms of production, Casa Caterina is very limited, but every year what is produced is of an extraordinary quality, wines that compete with the great companies of Franciacorta. Indeed, over time Casa Caterina has revealed itself to be an astonishing reality, also for their method which concerns the bubbles which must rest for between 48 and 60 months, not a month more and not a month less.
