At first, you might think the best Chardonnay wines come from Burgundy, France. But Ca' del Bosco proves that this high level can also be achieved elsewhere with this Curtefranca Corte del Lupo white. In terms of soil, the Curtefranca region shares many similarities with that of Burgundy. This white wine is a blend of 80 percent Chardonnay and 20 percent Pinot Blanc, sourced from vineyards with an average age of 30 years located in the municipality of Erbusco. The grapes are harvested in August. Only the finest grapes are used, and the yield is deliberately low. The remaining fruit is sold.
The grapes are harvested by hand, placed in small crates, and transported to the winery. Only the free-flowing juice is used for this wine, about a quarter of which is aged in the small oak barrels used the previous year for the Chardonnay. The remaining must is fermented in steel vats. After aging on the lees for six months without malolactic fermentation, the Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc are blended. The wine is then bottled in the most natural way, gravity-fed. No sulfites are added at this stage to ensure integrity and health. Finally, each bottle is marked with a unique code to ensure traceability.
This white wine is straw-yellow in the glass, with aromas of apple, citrus, minerals, and a touch of light spice. These notes are also evident on the palate, where its elegance is particularly striking. The taste of this Ca del Bosco Curtefranca White is a sensation, perfectly balanced with beautiful fruity notes and an aromatic finish.
