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	9,300 kilograms of grapes, equivalent to 5,400 litres of wine (wine yield: 58%).
Wine making	The 'Maurizio Zanella' is obtained by vinifying Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes separately from the best Ca' del Bosco vineyards. The grapes, harvested by hand in small crates, are promptly graded and cooled. Expert eyes and hands select each bunch before being transported over the maceration vat. With destemming, the grapes fall into the vat, from above, by gravity. This avoids using traditional pumping systems, which would bring unwanted herbaceous notes. In the 2009 vintage, alcoholic fermentation and maceration were carried out for 22 days, carefully managing temperature and punching-down. Pump-overs were carried out daily, using a pair of elevating tanks into which the wine, tapped from the bottom of the vat, is transferred by gravity. Finally, the wine is poured by gravity into the vat, at high flow rate, to submerge the 'cap'. Nothing could be more natural and effective for gently extracting the colour and tannins.
Aging	On racking, the still warm wines are racked into small oak barrels, 60% new, made from selected woods, and matured for at least 3 years. After malolactic fermentation, in the middle of winter, the different batches are racked and blended. Thus the 'Maurizio Zanella' wine is born, which continues its ageing in wood for about 17 months. Afterwards, the different batches are assembled and the wine is bottled by gravity naturally. Thanks to innovative filling systems, the wine is not subjected to oxidative shocks, whisking and further additions of sulphites. Therefore, its integrity and wholesomeness are guaranteed.
