Tasting Notes: The Ca’ del Bosco Cuvee Prestige is a blend of the best Chardonnay (75%), Pinot Nero (15%) and Pinot Bianco (10%) grapes that are vinified separately and blended with 20% of the best past vintages. Ca’ del bosco goes above and beyond the required 18 months of less aging by almost a year with 28 months of refinement. This is textbook Franciacorta, perfect to toast with some Prosciutto and Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Estate History: The story of Ca' del Bosco begins in the mid-1960s when, in Erbusco, Franciacorta, Annamaria Clementi Zanella bought a small house on a hill, locally known as "Ca' del bosc" because it was surrounded by dense chestnut trees. The Ca' del Bosco fairytale is written in its wines, in the extensive weave of its vineyards, in the success dreamt of, desired and achieved by its author. Maurizio Zanella realized the potential of the land and has driven the estate to become the foremost producer of Franciacorta.
