| Size | 0,75 l |
| Alcohol content | 12.5% by volume |
| Area | Lombardy (Italy) |
| Grape varieties | Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Nero |
| Aging | A minimum of 10 years on the lees are necessary for these wines to be labeled "R.S.", or "Recentemente Sboccato" (Recently Disgorged). This extensive aging brings out the wine’s full elegance and refinement, typical of wines that rest a long time on spent yeasts, combined with the freshness of a freshly disgorged Franciacorta. Disgorgement is carried out in an oxygen-free environment, using a proprietary process designed and patented by Ca’ del Bosco. This procedure prevents oxidative shocks and makes it unnecessary to add sulfites, making our Franciacortas purer, more appealing and longer lived. Finally, every bottle is marked with a unique identifier to ensure its traceability. |

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.

| Origin | 125 plots planted with Chardonnay, average age of 21 years, in the Municipalities of Erbusco, Adro, Cazzago San Martino, Corte Franca, Iseo and Passirano. 3 plots planted with Pinot Blanc, average age of 28 years, in the Municipality of Passirano. 21 plots planted with Pinot Noir, average age of 21 years, in the Municipalities of Erbusco, Provaglio d’Iseo and Passirano |
| Harvest | The base wines that go into Cuvée Prestige are the fruit of accurate cluster selection and expert vinification, carried out in line with the Ca’ del Bosco Method. The grapes are hand-picked and placed in small crates, graded and chilled. Every bunch is selected by trained eyes and hands, just before they go through our exclusive "berry spa," a special whirlpool-like wash for grape bunches, consisting of three soaking tanks, followed by thorough drying in a special tunnel. |
| Wine making | After pressing in an oxygen-free press, all the musts of the base wines ferment in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, where they remain until the following month of March. The wines take a further 7 months to settle, mature and bring out the very best characteristics of their vineyards of origin. The wines are then carefully assembled in the "magical ritual" that creates the cuvée. |
| Aging | A minimum of 10 years on the lees are necessary for these wines to be labeled "R.S.", or "Recentemente Sboccato" (Recently Disgorged). This extensive aging brings out the wine’s full elegance and refinement, typical of wines that rest a long time on spent yeasts, combined with the freshness of a freshly disgorged Franciacorta. Disgorgement is carried out in an oxygen-free environment, using a proprietary process designed and patented by Ca’ del Bosco.
