Ca' del Bosco is the mainstay of the Franciacorta terroir. The Ca' del Bosco wineries were founded in the mid-1960s by Annamaria Clementi Zanella, who bought a modest house of the same name in Erbusco, which was endowed with vineyards and woods. However, her son, Maurizio Zanella, started wine production, enhancing the terroir's characteristics and transforming that small house into one of Italy's most productive wineries. In fact, these cellars are distinguished for producing the famousCa' del Bosco sparkling wine, which is characterised by its elegant yet strong personality given by intense, juicy aromas and fullness of flavour. Today Ca' del Bosco is a well-established business, producing numerous labels, including still wines, both red and white, and Franciacorta for which Xtrawine has reserved a place of honour. You can choose from bottles of the best vintages from 2008 with an ageing capacity of between 15 and 25 years that will bring out the best in all your dishes: from pasta to fish and shellfish to dessert, the fruity notes will envelop your palate with every sip.

Yield per hectare 8700 kg
Harvest Second and third decade of September. The grapes from 8 different vineyards are hand-picked into small crates and promptly codified and cooled in cold rooms. Each bunch of grapes is selected by expert eyes and hands, to then benefit from our exclusive 'bunch spa'. A special system of washing and hydromassage of the bunches, using three soaking tubs and a system for complete drying.
Wine making Maceration in contact with the skins lasted 21 days for the Merlot and Carménère, 22 days for the Cabernet Franc and 20 days for the Cabernet Sauvignon. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration were conducted with careful temperature management and punching-down. Pumpovers were carried out daily, using a pair of elevating tanks into which the wine, tapped from the bottom of the vat, was transferred by gravity. The wine, brought up by the flying tanks, is poured into the vat, at high flow rate, to submerge the 'cap'.
Aging In wood and steel for about 21 months. The wine is then bottled naturally by gravity. Thanks to innovative 'long tube' taps, the wine rises from the bottom of the bottle without rolling, without shaking and does not suffer any oxidative shock.
