By 1968, the first vineyards were planted and in 1972 the first still wine was produced, followed by the first sparkling wine, released in 1978. In the following forty years, under the guidance of Annamaria’s son Maurizio Zanella, Ca’ del Bosco has earned its reputation as the leading producer in Franciacorta, an appellation that Zanella himself has championed through his tireless work as the president of the Consorzio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough their vineyard holdings have grown, attention to detail remains as a constant, even down to diligently washing the grapes on arrival at the winery. Whilst they are now best known for their benchmark sparkling wines, they take as much pride in the production of their still wines, a stellar Chardonnay and a brace of reds made using Bordeaux varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eCA' DEL BOSCO\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cadelbosco.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The official website of Ca' del Bosco\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/desktop_icon_cd1f9a91-a06b-4665-880d-cc47c0dde6d7_480x480.jpg?v=1588261941\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CaDelBosco\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Follow Ca' del Bosco on Facebook\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cadelboscousa\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Follow Ca' del Bosco on Twitter\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/twitter_icon_34f9bd96-ace0-4f23-b0ee-0e0d2f8cc379_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/cadelbosco_official\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Follow Ca' del Bosco on Instagram\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ca-del-bosco-corte-del-lupo-rosso-curtefranca-doc","title":"Ca' del Bosco Corte del Lupo Rosso 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eCa' del Bosco Corte del Lupo Rosso is a red grape blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Carménère. Meticulous attention to detail in the wine-making process is key at Ca' del Bosco. Prior to vinification the carefully selected hand-picked grapes are put through the exclusive “berry spa,” a special whirlpool-like wash for grape bunches, consisting of three soaking tanks, followed by thorough drying. Thereafter, gravity comes into play as the clusters are transported over the maceration vat, where they are de-stemmed, allowing the berries to naturally fall into vat; eliminating the need for traditional pumping, which can cause the skins to break and develop unwanted herbaceous hints. After malolactic fermentation in small oak barrels the wine is racked and assembled into different product lots. The final Corte del Lupo Rosso blend continues ageing in oak and stainless steel for approximately 21 months, followed by bottling, again by gravity. No sulphites are added at this stage, to guarantee integrity and wholesomeness. Finally, each bottle is marked with a unique code, to ensure traceability. Deep ruby red in colour this wine offers inviting fruit aromas whilst the harmonious palate is beautifully balanced.

Starting with the 2019 harvest and with the aim of strengthening its identity, Ca’ del Bosco’s Chardonnay takes on a new name \"Selva della Tesa\", in honour of the vineyard where this wine was born. Selva della Tesa embodies the territory’s vocation for coaxing out the nuances of the variety, and the winemaker’s skill in transforming them into a great wine. It is obtained from meticulously selected grapes skilfully vinified in full compliance with the Metodo Ca’ del Bosco. Grapes from five superior vineyards are picked, using small cases, and then graded and chilled. Each bunch is selected by experienced cellar staff before visiting the “berry spa”, an exclusive air-bubble bunch-washing system that incorporates three soaking vats and a drying tunnel. After pressing in the absence of oxygen, only the best must from the first fraction is transferred for alcoholic fermentation in small oak casks, made from selected wood seasoned for three years. The wine remains on its own lees for 9 more months, during which time malolactic fermentation is completed. “bâtonnage”, or lees stirring, is carried out every week to bring the wine to a peak of harmony on the nose and complexity on the palate. Later, the various parcels are blended and the wine is bottled naturally by gravity flow. Innovative bottling systems ensure that the wine is not subjected to oxidative stress or disturbance, and that no further sulphites are added. Integrity and healthfulness are guaranteed. Finally, every bottle is given an individual marking to ensure its traceability. Brightly hued, intensely scented, underscored with a hint of vanilla and a characteristic note of hazelnut. Its taste is full and rotund and its organoleptic structure is so intense as to be comparable to a red, yet it lingers in your senses for its extraordinary finesse.[#intro]Widely considered a reference point as the finest Italian example of Chardonnay...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ca' del Bosco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23536688824378,"sku":"A19CADELBOSCOCHD-1","price":88.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/CHARDONNAY19BT.jpg?v=1730205776"},{"product_id":"ca-del-bosco-cuvee-prestige-rose-franciacorta","title":"Ca' del Bosco Cuvée Prestige Rosé Edizione 45 NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ca' del Bosco Cuvée Prestige Rosé Edizione 45 is a sparkling wine from Franciacorta in the Lombardy region of Italy.
