Today, Franciacorta enjoys a reputation for unparalleled bubbles, a sensational sparkling wine. However, Franciacorta's history doesn't go back that far. Maurizio began experimenting with sparkling wines in 1976. After nearly 20 years of hard work, this effort was finally rewarded in 1995 with its own DOCG: DOCG Franciacorta. Since then, the pride of Lombardy has been thriving, and with good reason, because every sip feels like a little Italian celebration.
The Franciacorta Ca del Bosco Rosé Cuvée Prestige is an excellent blend of two grape varieties: Pinot Nero, which makes up 80 percent of the grape, and Chardonnay. Chardonnay is used for its ability to produce phenomenal sparkling wines, while Pinot Nero is used for its color. During fermentation, the Pinot Nero skins are briefly fermented, creating the attractive salmon-pink color of Franciacorta Ca del Bosco Rosé Cuvée Prestige. After fermentation, the juice is aged for at least 30 months. Only after the cellar master's explicit permission do the bottles leave the cellar.
Besides its attractive color, Pinot Nero imparts a smooth character. Suppleness is the key to Franciacorta Ca del Bosco Rosé Cuvée Prestige. Use your nose, and you won't be disappointed. Beautiful notes of fresh red fruit, such as fresh strawberries and berries. Just smelling this fantastic Franciacorta will make your mouth water. A soft mousse swirls around your taste buds. Your tongue is tickled by delicate notes of citrus, grapefruit, and soft red fruit. The absolute pinnacle of Lombardy, Italy, and, secretly, the entire world.
