Vinification / aging

Alcoholic fermentation is in temperature-controlled steel tanks, where the wines remain until the following March. Seven more months of ageing are necessary for the wine to clarify, mature and disclose the character of its vineyard of provenance. Subsequently, the wines are carefully blended with reserve wines from the best vintages (from 20% to 30%) in the magic ritual of making the cuvée. Only after a maturation period that averages 25 months will this Franciacorta be ready to express all the sumptuous depth of its personality.

History

In 1965, Annamaria Clementi Zanella moved with her son Maurizio into the impressive hilly landscape of Franciacorta. After graduation, the young Maurizio deepened his oenological knowledge at the Universities of Beaune and Bordeaux. After his return, he has modernized and expanded the family estate and now produces wines and sparkling wines of world class and prestige. Gambero Rosso, the leading Italian wine publication, has awarded Cà del Bosco the title 'Winery of the Year 2003'. Furthermore, Maurizio Zanella has managed to get 'tre bicchieri' 22 times. With Angelo Gaja, he is the only winemaker ever to win over 20 'tre bicchieri'.
