The nose has hints of citrus , apple , white peach and exotic fruit , with hints of pastry , dried fruit and mineral trails . The taste has a well-dosed freshness , the drink is light and inviting and closes on a fruity finish . Ideal to combine with fresh fish appetizers , carpaccio and sushi but it goes very well with a seafood risotto or with zucchini and prawns .

Processing

After a careful selection, the grapes are hand-picked , classified and cooled. The clusters are washed through soaking tanks and drying tunnels. After pressing , the musts obtained ferment separately in temperature-controlled steel tanks where they remain for 7 months. Subsequently the wines are blended and the cuvèe obtained is aged on the lees for at least 2 years . The dégorgement takes place in the absence of oxygen , following a system designed and patented by Ca 'del Bosco, which avoids oxidative shocks and the addition of sulphites. Finally the wine is bottled and each bottle is uniquely marked.

The Cellar

A pillar of the national wine scene and a reference of Franciacorta for the production of high-level sparkling wines . 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.
