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.
Sale of Sparkling Wines: how to choose the best and best match it
Sparkling wine is a wine with a festive and sparkling character, ideal to accompany moments of celebration and conviviality. In Italy, the production of Sparkling Wines is very varied and includes a vast range of varieties, from Prosecco to Champagne, passing through Franciacorta and Trento DOC .
In this article, we will guide you in discovering the world of Sparkling Wines, with advice for choosing the right wine based on your preferences and occasions, food pairings and tasting suggestions.
How are sparkling wines produced?
Sparkling wines are produced through a fermentation process which allows the production of bubbles inside the wine. There are two main methods for producing Sparkling Wines: the Classic Method and the Charmat Method.
Each Spumante has its own production method, which influences both its flavor and the 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 to the bottom of the bottle and being removed via the disgorgement process. This process takes a lot of time and attention, which is reflected in the final price of the product.
The Charmat Method is used to produce lighter and fruitier sparkling wines. In this method, the second fermentation takes place in large stainless steel tanks, where the wine is kept under pressure to create the carbonation. After fermentation, the wine is filtered and bottled.
The Martinotti Method , also known as the Italian Method or Tank Method, is a modern method used to produce high quality sparkling wines such as Prosecco. In this method, the second fermentation takes place in large stainless steel tanks, where the wine is kept under pressure to create the carbonation. After fermentation, the wine is filtered and bottled.
In addition to the production method, the type of grape used also affects the flavor and the final price of the sparkling wine. The main types of grapes used for the production of sparkling wines are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Glera.
Chardonnay is a white raisin used to make high quality sparkling wines such as Champagne. It has a fruity flavor and a buttery note.
Pinot Noir is a black raisin used to make high quality sparkling wines such as rosé Champagne. It has an intense and complex flavour, with notes of wild berries and spices.
Glera is a white raisin used to produce Prosecco. It has a fresh and fruity flavour, with notes of green apple and pear.
Bottom line, the choice of sparkling wine comes down to your personal taste and the occasion you're drinking it. Sparkling wines are a great choice for parties and celebrations, but they can also be enjoyed as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to a light meal. With the vast array of sparkling wines available on the market, there is sure to be one to suit every taste and budget.
