Cuvée Prestige, the essence of Franciacorta in Ca’ del Bosco style.

A jewel born in 2007 from 30 years of knowledge. Only the best selections of Chardonnay, Pinot noir and Pinot blanc grapes from the best vineyards are vinified separately and expertly blended with reserves from the best vintages (at least 20 percent) in the magical rite of creating the Cuvée.

Only after at least 24 months of aging on the lees can this wine express its richness and identity. A classic, balanced, pleasantly fresh and acidic Franciacorta. Perfect for any occasion.

GRAPE VARIETIES
Chardonnay 84%, Pinot Blanc 2%, Pinot Noir 14%.

base wines of the Cuvée Prestige are the result of careful selection of grapes and expert vinification conducted in full respect of the Ca’ del Bosco Method. The grapes, hand-picked in small boxes, are graded and cooled. Each cluster is selected by expert eyes and hands, and then benefits from exclusive “berry spas”: a special system of washing and hydromassage of the clusters consisting of three soaking tubs and a drying tunnel. After crushing in the absence of oxygen, all the musts of the base wines ferment in thermo-conditioned steel tanks and remain here until the following March. Seven months of aging is therefore necessary for the wine to clarify, mature and bring out the character of the original vineyards to the fullest. The wines are then expertly blended in the “magic rite” of cuvée creation. Only after aging on the lees for a minimum of 2 years can this Franciacorta express all its richness and identity. Dégorgement takes place in the absence of oxygen, using a unique system designed and patented by Ca’ del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shock and further addition of sulfites. It makes our Franciacortas purer, more pleasant and longer-lived. Finally, each packaged bottle is uniquely marked to ensure traceability.
