A mio avviso, sono tre i migliori blanc de blancs al mondo: Krug Clos du Mesnil (Krug), Comtes de Champagne (Taittinger) e Fleur de Passion (Diebolt-Vallois). A questi si deve aggiungere il Substance di Selosse, ma è uno champagne che va oltre la categoria stessa dei blanc de blancs, un’esperienza quasi cerebrale che trascende le classificazioni.

Identity. Virtue written in the etymology of an ancient term: idem, or being oneself. Cuvée Prestige, the essence of Franciacorta in the Ca 'del Bosco style. A jewel born in 2007 from thirty years of knowledge. Only the best selections of Chardonnay, Pinot nero and Pinot bianco grapes from the best vineyards are vinified separately and wisely assembled to the reserves of the best vintages (at least 20%), in the magical rite of creating the Cuvée. Only after at least 24 months of aging on the lees this wine will be able to express its richness and identity. A classic Franciacorta, balanced, pleasantly fresh and acidulous. Perfect for any occasion.
Penalty . Like the harmonic notes of a complex orchestral score, each stage of production must be performed following the times and cadences that perfection requires. Vintage Collection Dosage Zéro has no addition of liqueur d'expédition (dosage syrup added in minimal quantity in the other Franciacortas during the degorgement phase). A pure, sincere Franciacorta, the result of the best expression of an extraordinary terroir and of the man who understood its character and potential. Intended for that public of connoisseurs who love this style. Excellent aperitif, excellent to accompany seafood and raw fish.
Soft and velvety, Ca 'del Bosco's Franciacorta Saten Millesimato expresses all the elegance of Franciacorta in the best vintages. After a maturation of 48 months on the lees, it gives off aromas of fruit, citrus and honey and has a creamy and very elegant taste. A Magnum of great impact!
Transition . More than a color, pink is a suspended state of mind, like a delicate transition between white and red chasing each other, without ever being either one or the other. Franciacorta Rosé offers a magic poised between two shades. The rosé color is obtained after a short maceration of the red Pinot Noir grapes. Only a few hours to get that particular shade that evokes spring sunsets: you have to seize the moment, one moment the color is too light, the next it's too dark. And then the delicate encounter with Chardonnay and a slow, patient maturation. Cuvée Prestige Rosé, the ideal Franciacorta for the most important occasions. Especially the most romantic ones.
A Franciacorta that needs no introduction. Produced for the first time in 2007, this wine is born from the assembly of Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco grapes vinified separately and then added to the Reserves of the best vintages, which combined wisely give rise to this prestigious Cuvée. FRANCIACORTA CA 'DEL BOSCO
Power. A Franciacorta that expresses the strength of Pinot Noir combined with the elegance of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc. Only a low dosage can bring out the full potential of this wine, ensuring great richness and complexity over time. A crescendo of aromas destined to surprise.
Sparkling Wine Sales: How to Choose the Best and Pair It with Food
Sparkling wine is a festive and lively wine, ideal for accompanying celebrations and convivial gatherings. In Italy, sparkling wine production is highly diverse and includes a wide range of varieties, from Prosecco to Champagne, including Franciacorta and Trento DOC .
In this article, we'll guide you through the world of sparkling wines, with tips for choosing the right wine for your preferences and occasions, food pairings, and tasting suggestions.
How are sparkling wines produced?
Sparkling wines are produced through a fermentation process that allows the wine to produce bubbles. There are two main methods for producing sparkling wines: the Classic Method and the Charmat Method.
Each sparkling wine has its own production method, which influences both its flavor and final price. The main production methods are the Classic Method, the Charmat Method, and the Martinotti Method.
The Classic Method is the most expensive and artisanal method used to produce high-quality sparkling wines such as Champagne. In this method, the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, with the yeast settling at the bottom of the bottle and being removed through the disgorging process. This process requires considerable time and attention, which is reflected in the final price of the product.
The Charmat Method is used to produce lighter, fruitier sparkling wines. In this method, the secondary fermentation takes place in large stainless steel tanks, where the wine is kept under pressure to create carbonation. After fermentation, the wine is filtered and bottled.
The Martinotti Method , also known as the Italian Method or the Tank Method, is a modern method used to produce high-quality sparkling wines such as Prosecco. In this method, the secondary fermentation takes place in large stainless steel tanks, where the wine is kept under pressure to create carbonation. After fermentation, the wine is filtered and bottled.
In addition to the production method, the type of grape used also influences the flavor and final price of the sparkling wine. The main grape varieties used to produce sparkling wines are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Glera.
Chardonnay is a white grape used to produce high-quality sparkling wines like Champagne. It has a fruity flavor and a buttery note.
Pinot Noir is a black grape used to produce high-quality sparkling wines such as rosé Champagne. It has an intense and complex flavor, with notes of berries and spices.
Glera is a white grape used to make Prosecco. It has a fresh and fruity flavor, with notes of green apple and pear.
Ultimately, choosing a sparkling wine depends on your personal taste and the occasion for which you're drinking it. Sparkling wines are an excellent choice for parties and celebrations, but they can also be enjoyed as an aperitif or with a light meal. With the wide range of sparkling wines available on the market, there's sure to be one to suit every taste and budget.
