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.

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.

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.
