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 | 6 Pinot Nero vineyards planted an average of 35 years ago located in the municipalities of Erbusco and Corte Franca |
Harvest | Pinero is obtained through careful grape selection and skilled vinification, entirely in line with the Ca’ del Bosco method. The grapes are hand-picked in the 6 "choice" vineyards, and immediately placed in small crates, where they are graded and chilled. T he bunches are individually assessed by expert eyes and hands before they benefit from the exclusive "grape bath", i.e. a special washing and hydro-massage treatment using three soaking tanks and a drying system. Shortly afterwards, each bunch is transported over the maceration vat to be destemmed; the berries fall into the vat by gravity. This avoids the use of traditional pumps, which cause the skins to break and impart unwanted herbaceous flavors. |
Wine making | The alcoholic fermentation and skin contact took place in the following 17 days, with careful management of temperature and punching down. Pumping over takes place daily, using twin elevator tanks to which the wine, drawn from the bottom of the vat, is transferred by gravity. The wine is then raised by the so-called "flying tanks", and is vigorously poured back into the vat, so as to punch blanket (or "cap") down. There’s no more natural or effective way of gently extracting color and tannins. |
Aging | After devatting, while still warm, the wine is placed in small casks – 50% new oak, carefully selected and seasoned for a minimum of 3 years. For this vintage, aging lasted 11 months in total. A few months later, the wine was gravity-bottled, with a natural process. The innovative filling systems mean that the wine does not suffer from oxidative shock or bottle shock, and does not require the addition of sulfites. Bottle ageing: for an average of 2 years and 6 months. |
