Cà del Bosco

INSPIRATION

Thereare moments that have no words. Only sensations can define them, emotions that can reach the heart and become ecstasy, joy and beauty of a moment to be enclosed in the most intimate of memories. The art of wine as an instant of life in itself, a masterpiece child of that talent that only a few men know how to achieve, in which dedication and skill merge in the magical and arcane union with nature. Infinity in a drop, the fruit of a slow, devoted and meticulous passion. Men, like lands, have a vocation. So it was that a boy of about fifteen had the dazzling intuition of what a life lived in the light of its fulfilment could be. The meeting between the very young Maurizio Zanella and the sweetness of Franciacorta, when his mother moved to Erbusco and planted the first vineyard, was the first contact of what would be the love of a lifetime. But it was after a trip to Champagne, whose destination was the famous maisons where the wine that has always fascinated and fired the imagination was born, that Maurizio returned with the unshakable idea of creating something similar. What was once a house surrounded by a forest of chestnut trees was transformed into one of the most modern and advanced wine cellars in Italy. Since then, a single principle has defined the essence of Ca' del Bosco: the quest for excellence.

The gate and the vineyards

Welcoming the guest is first of all the imposing gate of the estate: not a simple opening and closing device, but a bronze work by the famous sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro. The work, 'Cancello Solare', is intended as a joyful and powerful tribute to the one who represents the true, primary nourishment of the grape. Once you enter and reach the top of the main hill, you are greeted by the vast park of oaks, chestnut trees and acacias, where as you stroll, you enjoy splendid views of the surrounding vineyards and the entire valley. An ideal way to enter into the spirit of this land, where haste is banished and beauty still has the prominent place it deserves.
