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 | 12 Pinot Noir vineyards planted an average of 34 years ago located in the municipalities of Erbusco, Adro, Iseo and Passirano. 7 Chardonnay vineyards planted an average of 29 years ago located in the municipalities of Erbusco, Cazzago San Martino and Passirano |
| Harvest | Cuvée Prestige Rosé is obtained from the separate fermentation of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. As soon as the grapes are picked, using small cases, they are graded and chilled. Each bunch is selected by experienced eyes before visiting our "berry spa", an exclusive bunch washing and jet spray system that incorporates three soaking vats and a drying tunnel. The Pinot Noir grapes are transported over the vat where the berries are separated from the stems and fall in by force of gravity |
| Wine making | Maceration with brief skin contact lasts 24-36 hours, just enough to obtain the special delicate pink hue that makes Francicorta Rosé such a distinctive wine in the bottle. Later, the must is separated from the skins to be fermented in small oak casks and steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The Chardonnay grapes are vinified in the traditional manner, with whole-bunch pressing. The best fractions of the must ferment separately in vats. After 7 months of maturation, the magic ritual of blending the cuvée from the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines is carried out. |
| Aging | The cuvée is then bottled and aged for an average of 30 months on the lees in underground cellars at a constant temperature of 12°C. Disgorgement takes place in the absence of oxygen using a unique system designed and patented by Ca’ del Bosco. The procedure avoids oxidative stress or the need for additional sulphites, making Ca’ del Bosco Franciacortas purer, more appealing and longer lived.
