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.

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.

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.
