The VINTAGE COLLECTION FRANCIACORTA DOCG DOSAGE ZÉRO NOIR CA 'DEL BOSCO 2011 ASTUCCIATO represents one of the spearheads of the renowned Ca' del Bosco company. This spectacular wine originates from Pinot Noir grapes used in purity and grown in just three sites on the ancient hills facing south of Lake Iseo. This orographic peculiarity allows them to obtain the maximum sun exposure which gives an intense structure to the grapes.

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!

The Franciacorta Satèn Vintage Collection by Ca 'del Bosco is born in vineyards located between the green landscapes and the rolling hills of Erbusco, in the heart of the magical terroir of Franciacorta, the morainic cradle south of Lake Iseo. It is produced with 85% Chardonnay grapes, 15% with Pinot Bianco grapes, harvested only by hand during the first and second ten days of August. Fermentation takes place according to the classic method with refermentation in the bottle. Subsequently the wine ages on the lees for 48-52 months. The Satèn Vintage Collection is characterized by a straw yellow color. The nose opens with aromas of peach and citrus, enriched by pleasant hints of honey. On the palate it is elegant, pleasantly fresh and savory, with a delicate effervescence. Perfect to accompany appetizers, cold cuts and salami, it is ideal in combination with dishes based on fish and shellfish.

Character . Among the Franciacortas of Ca 'del Bosco it is the one that best manages to express the character of the territory and the peculiarities that celebrate each vintage. The trend of climatic phenomena always writes unpredictable stories. And in the ending is the product of the love between man and the earth. Since 1978 the Brut Millesimato is born only in quality harvests. The result of careful vinification, but above all of a long refinement that enhances its characteristics: four years of permanence in contact with the yeasts. An unmistakable, structured, full, intense and persistent Franciacorta . A wine for important occasions, special with haute cuisine fish dishes.

Absolute . Free from all limits, a constantly evolving value. Like the exclusive commitment necessary to create this Franciacorta dedicated to Annamaria Clementi, founder of Ca 'del Bosco and mother of Maurizio Zanella. No compromises, no concessions. Only the best of the grapes selected in the various crus are predestined for this symbolic wine. And only in the best years. Meticulous vinification and a very long refinement in the bottle that lasts for at least seven years in contact with the yeasts: this is how a great wine is created, a unicum with a magnificent golden color and very fine perlage. A perfume of extraordinary complexity, a flavor of exceptional fullness and persistence. An absolute Franciacorta.

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.

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.

Provocation . But also revelation. The story is ironically well portrayed on the label by a wolf in lambskin. Carmenére is a vine originating from the Bordeaux area, confused for a long time with Cabernet franc. Despite having organoleptic traits in common, it is a very different grape variety: much more intense and spicy. Ca 'del Bosco in 1996 entrusted the Faculty of Agriculture of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Piacenza with the task of revealing its existence, origin and identity. Carmenero stands out for its very intense and dark color, for its powerful and spicy aroma, for its full, rich and original taste.

At the sight it announces itself with a dark ruby red color, impenetrable. The olfactory spectrum moves on a progression of tertiary and balsamic notes, from which even more vegetal and fruity hints emerge. On the palate it is full-bodied, round, with a sip that moves smoothly and harmoniously on the palate, highlighting a finely integrated tannic texture. Superb with second courses of red meat, it gives its best with a fillet of beef with green pepper.

This prestigious red is dedicated to Maurizio Zanella, who in the seventies founded Cà del Bosco after an enlightening trip to the Champagne region, thus giving life to a company that still today represents the excellence of enology in Italy and in the world. It is obtained from Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet franc grapes from the best vineyards of the company, hand-picked and selected with extreme care, the maturation is carried out in small seasoned oak barrels. It has an intense and deep ruby red color, concentrated and complex aromas of red fruits, pepper and licorice in the mouth it is soft and balanced, with a long persistence. It is a very long-lived wine, and can enrich our cellar for many years before being uncorked for a special occasion.

At sight it shows a straw yellow color. The nose opens on the fruit brought by the Chardonnay, in a whirlwind of elegant and always well-defined notes. On the palate it is medium-bodied, balanced, with a sip characterized by a fresh taste, which moves in perfect harmony with the aromas previously perceived on the nose. Try it with vegetable risotto, it is also excellent with fried zucchini and anchovies. Perfect with a fresh salmon tartare.

On the palate it is full-bodied, intense and pulpy, with a fresh, full and persistent taste. Refined and elegant, it requires not everyday gastronomic preparations. Excellent with a truffle risotto.

It closes with a very long persistence finish. Try it with a lobster bisque.

Salmon pink color with golden reflections, with a very fine and incessant perlage, it smells of pastry, strawberries and almond sugared almonds, marzipan, aromatic herbs and notes of gunpowder.

A Franciacorta that needs no introduction.

The Dosage Zero by Ca 'del Bosco is a pure and elegant Franciacorta, the result of the best expression of an extraordinary terroir and of the man who understood its character and potential. The man who made the production of the great wines of the Ca 'del Bosco winery possible is Maurizio Zanella, who, after a trip to Champagne in the late seventies, decides to follow his mother Annamaria Clementi and moves into her home and Erbusco is precisely here that he is absorbed by the passion for wine and plants the first rows in sylvoz, transforming the surrounding hill into a vineyard of excellence over time. A Franciacorta that is a guarantee of absolute quality.

Fruit of all the attention and care that distinguish the production of Bellavista , Franciacorta Rosé is born from an assembly of the best grapes of pinot noir and chardonnay, a sparkling wine where the structure of the first meets the grace of the second. The essence of pinot noir not only gives color an important role of tonality and stability, but also becomes the elusive, delicate and constant taste-olfactory trait that makes a graceful masterpiece of nature distinctive. An extraordinary Franciacorta, whose permanence in the cellar is at least 5 years.

Alma Cuvée was born from the skilful combination of about 60 of the 120 harvest selections obtained in the cellar. About 100 selections come from the same harvest and are identified with extreme care in 107 plots distributed in 10 different municipalities of Franciacorta ("horizontal assembly"). To this wide patrimony of olfactory and gustatory variations are then added the aromas and flavors of particular "reserve wines" from different harvests ("vertical assembly"). A unique cuvée, which with its elegant complexity represents the most integral and often mysterious soul of Franciacorta.

The Gran Cuvée millesimato of Bellavista differs from the traditional Bruts not only for the quality of the raw material that is used but also and above all for the fact that over a quarter of the wines from which it is made matures for seven months in small oak barrels. Bellavista 's Franciacorta DOCG Brut is in fact a magnificent Franciacorta for stature and balance, the result of a not abundant vintage but of excellent quality. A mythical sparkling wine.

Satèn is a registered name of the Franciacorta Consortium and corresponds to a production protocol that provides for the exclusive use of white grapes (in this case chardonnay), an atmospheric pressure of less than 4.5 atmospheres, a maximum sugar content of 15 gr./ liter and a minimum aging on the lees of 24 months. From the combination of these four elements a soft and enveloping wine is born that evokes the pleasantness of silk. A great classic.

Pleasant and elegant, the Prima Cuvée is at the same time the most popular Franciacorta of Monte Rossa and the one made with the greatest care and attention. A sparkling wine made from wines obtained from the first pressing of the chardonnay, pinot bianco and pinot nero grapes, and from reserve wines. The Franciacorta DOCG “Prima Cuvée” Brut di Monte Rossa is a great classic, put on the market at least 4 months after disgorgement and characterized by a great personality and an unmistakable structure.

The result of a rigorous selection in the vineyard, Bellavista 's “Gran Cuvée” Satèn is produced in very limited quantities. It is in fact the first Italian experience in the creation of a great Franciacorta designed thanks to the ancient technology of "small barrels" with the aim of enhancing and interpreting, through a style that can be defined as "feminine", the chardonnay from the best Bellavista vineyards. The result is a velvety and enthralling sparkling wine, a true paradigm among the Satèn of Franciacorta.

The Franciacorta for those who do not like compromises, the Dosaggio Zero is certainly the most vertical, direct, lashing one. A sparkling wine with a great personality, made up of a selection of Pinot Noir from a specific morainic soil that gives the grapes the characteristic savory notes that we find in the glass. Inevitable.

The Franciacorta Pas Operé by Bellavista is a full-bodied and intense classic method sparkling wine, not dosed, coming from historical vineyards and aged on the lees in the bottle for 72 months. Aromatic hints of ripe yellow fruit and citrus jam enrich a fresh, toasted and mineral taste, with character and personality
