The cellar

Ca 'del Bosco is a production reality that was born in the mid-60s, when Annamaria Clementi Zanella bought a small house with the same name in the municipality of Erbusco, with woods and vineyards.
Today the company is a more than consolidated reality, which produces a wide range of labels with deep and juicy aromas and measured and skilful dosages.
