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.

Harvest	Selva della Tesa encapsulates the vocation of a territory in exalting the characteristics of a vine and the ability of man to extract and transform them into a great wine. It is the fruit of careful grape selection and skilful vinification conducted in full respect of the Ca' del Bosco Method. The grapes from 8 "chosen" vineyards, freshly hand-picked into small crates, are classified and cooled. Each bunch of grapes is selected by expert eyes and hands, to then benefit from exclusive "grape spas". A special system of washing and hydromassage of the bunches, using three soaking tubs and a drying tunnel.
Wine making	After crushing in the absence of oxygen, only the best first-portion must is transferred for alcoholic fermentation in small oak barrels made from selected woods and matured for at least 3 years. Here the wine remains on its lees for 9 months, during which it also undergoes malolactic fermentation.
Aging	Bottle ageing: 3 years and 6 months. Then the different batches are blended and the wine is bottled by gravity, in a natural way. Thanks to innovative filling systems, the wine is not subjected to oxidative shocks, whisking and further addition of sulphites. Its integrity and wholesomeness are guaranteed. Finally, each packaged bottle is uniquely marked to guarantee traceability.
