An absolute king of sparkling wines. When you think of Italy and bubbles, you think of Prosecco. However, once you drink Franciacorta, you'll never want anything else. The story begins in the 1960s. Annamaria Clementi Zanella bought a small house on Mount Erbusco, in the breathtaking Franciacorta region. Driving through this area, you'll experience the Italian dream. The rolling landscape, dominated by cypress and olive trees, exudes Italian delight. This region is the birthplace of the Italian equivalent of Champagne: Franciacorta.

A pioneer from Lombardy

In the mid-1970s, Maurizio, also from Annamaria Clementi, was at the helm of the Ca del Bosco winery. He was captivated by Champagne and wanted to create a similar sparkling wine in the beautiful northern Italian province of Lombardy. This sparkling wine left the impressive cellars of Ca del Bosco in 1976. This hard work paid off. In 1995, thanks to the Ca del Bosco Prestige Cuvée, Franciacorta received its own DOCG. A reward entirely attributable to the expertise of both Annamaria Clementi and Maurizio.

The composition of Franciacorta Ca del Bosco Prestige Cuvee

The Franciacorta Ca del Bosco Prestige Cuvée is a beautiful blend of three renowned grape varieties. Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Noir bring out the best in each other. Maurizio chose these grapes because Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, in particular, are highly prized in Champagne. This Franciacorta is so delicate that it is sold wrapped in orange foil. This is because daylight is detrimental to this Italian sparkling wine.

The smell and taste of Franciacorta Ca del Bosco Prestige Cuvee

Pour this Franciacorta and the party can begin. It's no wonder this sparkling wine is so lauded by the international wine press. The nose reveals pure and elegant notes of citrus, apple, and a hint of gooseberry. The aroma is understated yet incredibly pleasant. When you take a sip, you'll be transported for a moment to the stunning landscapes of Franciacorta and Lombardy. The mousse of this sparkling wine is incredibly refined, and the tingle on the tongue is pure perfection. Every single drop is a delight for the taste buds. An absolute gem from Italy.
