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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
In the glass it develops with a typically golden color, crossed by a very fine and continuous perlage. The range of aromas on the nose seems to never end, and the notes that more than others are easy to recognize lead us to a world made up of pastry, citrus peel and floral essences. On the palate it is austere, rigorous, with a nice expressive rigor, enhanced by a sip that lives in the light of the relationship between freshness and flavor. It closes with a very long persistence finish. Try it with a lobster bisque.
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.
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.

At sight it announces itself with a dark, impenetrable ruby red color. 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.
