Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige DOCG Cà del Bosco edition

The essence of thirty years of knowledge. The love for one's land. The best expression of the Franciacorta soils. Experiences and intuitions that, one harvest after another, allow one to delve deeply into the intimate knowledge of the raw material, the grape, and the long transformation process that makes it wine.

• The development: Born in 1976 with the name Franciacorta Pinot, represents our first step into the world of Franciacorta. In 1991, with the name Franciacorta Brut NV, takes on a style that is increasingly recognisable and faithful to the terroir. In 2005, after over 30 years of research and dedication, it becomes Prestige Cuvée and acquires its own well-defined Identity. After a constant reduction in the dosage at disgorgement to enhance the characteristics of the grapes it comes from, with the 2017 harvest it is enriched with the attribute Edition, to allow the different nuances of each interpretation to be fixed in the tasting memory.
• Winemaking: The base wines of the Cuvée Prestige are the result of a careful selection of grapes and expert vinification carried out in full compliance with the Ca' del Bosco Method. The grapes, hand-picked in small crates, are classified and cooled. Each bunch is selected by expert eyes and hands, and then benefits from exclusive “grape spas”: a special system of washing and hydromassage of the bunches 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 bring out the character of the vineyards of origin. The wines are then expertly assembled in the “magic rite” of creating the cuvée. Only after refinement on the lees for at least 2 years can this Franciacorta express all its richness and identity. The disgorgement takes place in the absence of oxygen, using a unique system, designed and patented by Ca' del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shock and further additions of sulphites. It makes our Franciacorta purer, more pleasant and longer-lived. Finally, each packaged bottle is marked uniquely, to guarantee its traceability.
