The essence of thirty years of knowledge. Love for one's land. The best expression of the Franciacorta soils. Experiences and intuitions which, one harvest after another, allow us to delve deeply into the intimate knowledge of the raw material, the grape, and of the long transformation process that makes it wine.
- Development : Born in 1976 with the name Franciacorta Pinot , it represents our first step into the world of Franciacorta. In 1991, with the name Franciacorta Brut NV, it took on an increasingly recognizable style faithful to the terroir. In 2005, after over 30 years of research and dedication, it became Cuvée Prestige and acquired its own well-defined identity. After a constant reduction in the dosage at disgorgement aimed at enhancing the characteristics of the grapes of origin, with the 2017 harvest it is enriched with the Edition attribute, to allow the different nuances of each interpretation to be fixed in the tasting memory.
- Vinification : The base wines of the Cuvée Prestige are the result of a careful selection of grapes and skilful vinification conducted in full compliance with the Ca' del Bosco Method. The grapes, harvested by hand in small boxes, are classified and cooled. Each bunch is selected by expert eyes and hands, to then benefit from exclusive "berry spas": a particular bunch washing and hydromassage system consisting of three soaking tanks and a drying tunnel. After pressing in the absence of oxygen, all the musts of the base wines ferment in thermo-conditioned steel tanks and remain there until the following March. Seven months of refinement are therefore necessary for the wine to clarify, mature and best bring out the character of the vineyards of origin. The wines are then expertly assembled in the "magic ritual" of creating the cuvée. Only after aging on the lees for a minimum of 2 years can this Franciacorta express all its richness and identity. Dégorgement occurs in the absence of oxygen, using a unique system, designed and patented by Ca' del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shocks and further additions of sulphites. It makes our Franciacorta purer, more pleasant and longer-lived. Finally, each packaged bottle is uniquely marked to ensure traceability.

Every day we work and think about our wines respecting the values that have always accompanied us: respect for nature, the balance between tradition and innovation, the valorization of art and work ethics. Our heritage is represented by our lands. Being vineyard enthusiasts means recreating the best possible conditions in order to extract only the best from the different soils and enhance what makes them unique. It means protecting all the elements that contribute to the formation of a natural habitat whose balance is fundamental for the development of life. It means taking care of it. Today we directly manage over 250 hectares of vineyards following the certified organic viticulture protocol. A journey that began in 1989, in an experimental phase, and was completed in recent years. The vineyards are located in 10 municipalities in Franciacorta and the average age of our vineyards is over 20 years.
