“Alma” Franciacorta Gran Cuvée DOCG non dosato
Here comes the new archaic form of Franciacorta - hardly any residual sugar, no dosage, but purism in its purest form. Fresh and direct on the nose, yet finely polished and not exuberant. Extremely elegant on the palate with a fine perlage and plenty of agility. For all its vivacity, it is always sensual, almost distinguished and discreetly subtle and of the greatest harmony. A fresh and crisp fine sparkling wine from the best house and one of the most characterful representatives of its kind at the moment. SUPERIORE.DE
"Freshly sliced green apples, mint and sweet smoke emanate from the NV Franciacorta Non-Dosato Grande Cuvée Alma. It washes over the palate with mineral bubbles accompanied by juicy, ripe fruit. It refreshes the senses, is crisp and has an astonishing length, while a salty note contrasts with lime zest and sweet spices slowly fade away." Vinous

“Vigna Ca' Guicciardi” Inferno Valtellina Superiore DOCG 2019
The vineyard "Ca' Guicciardi" got its name from the farmhouse that lies in its centre. The single vineyard site is characterised by small, very steep valleys. Remarkable rock faces alternate with terraces supported by some of the highest dry stone walls in the Valtellina. The particular colour of the rock, which tends towards a quartz-like white, greatly enhances the power of the sun and results in higher temperatures and more light here than in other parts of the valley.
Vigna Ca' Guicciardi has an intense, bright ruby red colour, pronounced aromas of ripe red fruits with predominant notes of black cherry, currant, spices, with hints of liquorice, cloves and cinnamon in the background. Soft and full in the mouth, without appearing broad and denying its alpine origins. One cannot help but compare it to a complex Burgundy, its round tannins and wonderful depth and length round off the experience in a well-proportioned and highly elegant way. SUPERIORE.DE
"Sweet berries and cherries with lemon and orange peel character. Also watermelon. Medium body. Medium round tannins and a creamy finish. Nice texture and flavours." James Suckling
"This mountain red envelops you from the start with aromas of roasted cherries, savory spice and pressed red flowers. The precise and elegant palate serves macerated raspberries balanced by alpine herbs, crushed stones and elegant tannins." Wine Enthusiast
"An elegant red wine with well-integrated mineral nuances, fresh juiciness and a soft texture as well as aromas of wild strawberries, fine tobacco, iron, orange peel and a hint of red liquorice. The well-seasoned finish tempts you to take another sip." Wine Spectator

The 45th edition of Ca' del Bosco's classic consists of 68% vintage wine 2020, 29% reserve wine 2019 and 3% reserve wine 2018. The consistently award-winning Cuvée Prestige is a perfect archetype of its DOC: elegant, fresh, full, with a continuous perlage, elegant creaminess and a beautiful body. SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium straw yellow with golden reflections and fine perlage. Baked apple, brioche, ripe pineapple and orange zest on the nose, with a delicate peach flavour on the finish. Fresh and juicy on the palate, with a fruity core and a very long final characterised by fruit and saltiness." Falstaff
"The Ca' del Bosco NV Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige Extra Brut 45 Edizione is celebrating a great anniversary. Aroma of rich lemon and freshly baked pie crust. The effervescence is visibly very light and delicate, as is the palate. It is a very gentle sparkling wine with a medium freshness." Wine Advocate
"This fresh and focused version is sleek and finely knit, with the satiny mousse expanding on the palate and carrying flavors of poached apricot, crushed hazelnut, candied ginger and lemon curd. The finish is long and creamy." Wine Spectator
"The Extra Brut Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige 45 Edizione is dreamy, with a sweet hint of smoke, sweet spice and Jordanian almonds complementing ripe apricots. The creamy foam and the mineral note of the fruit trees soothe, while a hint of raw hazelnuts provides a nice bitter contrast towards the end. The finish is remarkably fresh and of medium length, with a buttery richness and traces of young peach balanced by a hint of residual acidity." Vinous
"This perennial classic always seems to impress. The 45th vintage opens with aromas of baked apple, brioche, baking spices, crème fraîche, lemon zest and ginger. On the palate, it is characterised by ripe fruit, lemon curd and lingering minerality and finishes with lively acidity." Wine Enthusiast

Limitation of 6 articles per customer“Pernice” Pinot Nero dell' Oltrepò Pavese DOC 2020
The first 1,850 Pinot Noir vines were brought to Italy from Burgundy by Count Vistarino back in 1865. Since then, the vinification of this demanding grape variety has been continuously refined over the generations. Today, the Pinot Noirs from the winegrowing dynasty can even outshine much more expensive Pinot Noirs from Burgundy at international tastings.
Conte Vistarino's Pinot Nero Pernice, which is great every year, comes from the single vineyard of the same name and fascinates with its fine fragrance and elegance. Intense ruby red colour with garnet reflections. The bouquet is complex and rich with notes of violets and small red fruits, some roasted coffee and cocoa. Elegant, full-bodied on the palate, with present fruit, very balanced with a pleasant minerality and a long, spicy finish. The harmonious tannins make this wine elegant and give it a good backbone from start to finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, brilliant straw yellow with persistent perlage. Fragrant nose of salt lemon, cold smoke, fine cream, vanilla and fine wood. On the palate with a lot of melting, fine creaminess, very well-integrated perlage, in the final on noble yellow-fruity notes, plus beautiful saltiness." Falstaff
"The wine can be recognised by its black label and a small red seal with the inscription La Scala, which stands for the famous opera house Teatro alla Scala near Milan. It is a medium-bodied sparkling wine with roasted nuts and almonds surrounding fruit and Golden Delicious apple." Wine Advocate
"The 2018 Brut Franciacorta Teatro alla Scala rises from the glass with a flavoursome blend of dusty dried flowers, field grasses and a hint of brioche. It has an edgy character with a stimulating acidity and an echo of savoury bubbles that tantalise the senses. Sour citrus tickles the cheeks, while a hint of spicy ginger lingers." Vinous
"On the nose, notes of lemon, lime and pear are complemented by aromas of crusty bread. On the palate, a lively flavour unfolds with a core of fruit, especially green apple, accompanied by a subtle minerality. The wine has a tight and finesse-rich perlage." Wine Enthusiast

“Vigna Fracia” Valgella Valtellina Superiore DOCG 2019
The "Fracia" vineyard has belonged to Nino Negri since it was founded in 1897. It lies at the confluence of several alpine valleys and the vegetation in this area is almost Mediterranean with lavender and rosemary. The result is a wine that is flavoursome and flowery with a characteristic, spicy aroma.
Intense ruby red colour with garnet reflections. Complex aromas of dog rose and violets on the nose, which develop into spicy notes such as rosemary and lavender. Dense, rich and with well-structured tannins on the palate. The well-balanced and fresh acidity leads to a long, very flavoursome finish. An alpine red that is already a pleasure to drink, but its complexity and power will really come to the fore with further bottle ageing. SUPERIORE.DE
"Raspberries, damp earth, herbs and orange peel on the nose. Medium-bodied with dusty tannins and an attractive minerality. Firm and persistent. Drink or store." James Suckling
"The Nino Negri 2019 Valtellina Superiore Valgella Vigna Fracia shows a bright ruby color, and although the bouquet is not as immediately expressive as some of its peers, it does open slowly to cassis, dried orange peel and sweet nectarine. The bouquet is characterized by red berry, orchard fruit and hints of wild rose or mountain flower. It feels delicate and light in texture. This wine is packed in a bottle with a greenish-gray label that reflects the slate soils of Valgella. Give it a bit more time in bottle." Wine Advocate

“Cristina Scarpellini” Valgella Valtellina Superiore Riserva DOCG 2018
"This is a project with which I still celebrate the beginning of my adventure as a winemaker, which is why this Riserva bears my name. Valgella is the area where my journey, which remains exciting to this day, began, and this wine not only bears my signature, but with its distinguished shyness also pays respect to the steep slopes from which we wrested its fruit."
Bright garnet red. Fine and subtle on the nose, where the initial ferrous mineral notes are replaced by articulate aromas of spices, red rum fruits and coffee. In the mouth it is full-bodied and expansive, ethereal, with a present, sand-blasted tannin structure. Long and juicy as it progresses. It needs at least two more years for the tannins and the oak to integrate perfectly. We are sure: With a little patience, it will reach radiant perfection. It is a wine that rightly bears the name of the winemaker! SUPERIORE.DE
"Some sweet-vanilla notes now to the savory oranges, tar and cranberries. A full-bodied nebbiolo that feels expansive, yet it’s ethereal on the palate with lots of firm, sandblasted tannins. Long and juicy. Needs two years to allow the tannins and the oak to integrate more. Will shine with time." James Suckling

“61” Franciacorta Millesimato DOCG 2016 brut nature
Brut Nature is Guido Berlucchi's vintage Franciacorta, which does not require any dosage (zero) and thus perfectly rounds off the top end of the 61 collection. The "61" line stands for the year of birth of the first Franciacorta, which was created in 1961 in the centuries-old Berlucchi vineyards. The grapes come from four vineyards between Corte Franca and Provaglio d'Iseo. In its purity, the cuvée perfectly embodies the expression of the terroir and shows the fascination of Chardonnay. Despite its 0 grams of residual sugar, it is rich and full-bodied on the palate. Very big! SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, brilliant straw yellow with a fine perlage. Light yeasty notes on the nose, brioche and baked apple, with candied lemon and roasted almonds in the background. Powerful perlage on the palate, beautiful acidity and a long, bone-dry final." Falstaff
"This brut nature opens with green herbs and white peach on the nose, flinty and clean. Exceptional fruit concentration is refreshed by fine perlage and smoky acidity. The finish shows integrated developing tertiary notes, demonstrating complexity and promise for further ageing." Decanter
"Sliced pears, lemons, green apples and biscuits on the nose. It’s crisp, clean and medium-bodied, with fine bubbles and restrained fruit. Dry and focused, with a sharp and mouthwatering finish." James Suckling
"A blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Nero, the Guido Berlucchi 2016 Franciacorta '61 Nature Dosaggio Zero sees the finest lots of fruit in oak barrel for six months followed by a minimum five years in bottle. The bouquet emits a mix of dried lemon and baked apple with softly toasted notes to flesh out the mouthfeel." Wine Advocate
"This exciting wine is full of energy and vibrancy. The blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir has compelling aromas of tart apples, candied citrus zest, fresh pastry dough and wild herbs. The palate is dry and leads off with lemon zest, green pear, thyme and marjoram, finishing with roasted almonds and minerality." Wine Enthusiast

“Infinito” Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG 2018
The grapes for the most classic red wine of the Valtellina are air-dried by the alpine winds for about 2 months after the harvest. Infinito shows a fresh, almost mentholated side of the Nebbiolo grape that adds lift and brightness to the bouquet. Immediately after these spicy herbal notes, the wine dives into the darker fruit of blackcurrant, wild plum and pressed rose. This wine offers an exciting and unexpected array of flavours that highlight its unique personality, which can only be achieved in this form with the Nebbiolo grape in the Italian Alps. As the wine settles on the palate, there is even a subtle sweetness that comes from the appassimento process, rounding it out to a distinctive classic. Be sure to aerate before enjoying! SUPERIORE.DE
"Made with air–dried grapes, the Tenuta Scerscé 2018 Sforzato di Valtellina Nebbiolo Infinito opens to a medium–dark color and moderate fruit weight that feels velvety, rich and open–knit. The sforzato, or appassimento, process brings on extra heft and intensity for sure, but the Nebbiolo grape never loses its inner grace and poise. Aromas of dried rose, wild cherry, plum and sweet earth rise from the bouquet. A pretty layer of cured tobacco gives the wine a more fleshed–out feel on the close." Wine Advocate
"Licorice with sweet, candied strawberries, spice box and creme de cassis. A very flavorful nebbiolo with a brighter palate than the nose, rounded by creamy, dusty tannins in a firm, slightly austere setting." James Suckling

“Vintage Collection” Franciacorta DOCG 2018 satèn brut
Franciacorta satèn brut with a clear bouquet of yellow fruit and medicinal herbs and a fresh style. Crisp fruit flavours of peach, citrus and melon in harmony with the opulent creaminess of freshly baked brioche. Very relaxed and long finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, intense light gold colour. Cold butter, precious wood, fine iodine on the nose, then citrus fruit and white blossom, wet stone on the finish, fragrant. On the palate with airy perlage, cloudy and light-footed, then with a complex, radiant fruit core, very well dosed, compact and balanced, drinks very well, with a fine lemon final." Falstaff
"The bouquet is toasty and rich with notes of baked almond followed by dried lemon curd, Golden Delicious apple and salted caramel. The impact is soft and broad, and the wine delivers a fleshy texture with subtle effervescence." Wine Advocate
"The 2018 Brut Satèn Franciacorta Vintage Collection is a total pleasure to take in, with its vivid yellow apple and chamomile bouquet complicated by grassy notes and stone dust. Round and soothing, this ushers in ripe orchard fruits over an elegant bead of silken bubbles, taking on a gentle spiciness toward the close. The 2018 finishes remarkably fresh with a lime tinge." Vinous
"Ca' del Bosco sets the standard for the region's wineries and continuously raises the quality of its wines. A pure, mineral bouquet with youthful notes of pomegranate, grapefruit and white flowers opens to reveal richer stone fruit flavours. Smoked almond and unripe pear embrace a silky body, accompanied by a gentle perlage. A complex and juicy finish expresses the elegant and multi-layered character of the wine." Decanter
"A magnetic selection of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc from 14 certified organic parcels, fermented in oak, then 48 months on the lees. Aroma of great complexity, notes of lime, tobacco peach and nutmeg, tension on the palate, salty intensity, spicy-balsamic." Luca Gardini

“Vintage Collection” Franciacorta DOCG 2018 dosage zero
Dosage zero is irresistible in its statement and the perfect balance of all components. Golden yellow in colour, intense and bright. Fine, organised and persistent perlage. Numerous fruity aromas in the fine flavour, yeasty nuances in the centre and pleasant minerality in the long, bone-dry finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright light gold colour with fine, persistent perlage. Fragrant, clear nose of freshly baked bread, some flint, citrus, reminiscent of red berries and white flowers, elegant and inviting. Creamy, compact, radiant and expressive on the palate, with a well-integrated perlage, racy flavour and salty undertone, lingers long and clean, dry." Falstaff
"The wine shows an immediate brightness and focus with crisp lemon, bitter almond and apple, with some delicate white flower or elderflower giving this sparkling wine a powerful and refreshing character. For a Dosage Zéro, it has a nice contrast between body and acidity, which is no mean feat despite the fact that no sugar has been added." Wine Advocate
"A blend of mainly Chardonnay with Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc this organically grown sparkler is focused, layered and textured. The wine opens with aromas of freshly baked apple tart drizzled with warmed honey, with hazelnuts and vanilla in the background The focsued palate is lively with electric acidity that's bracing at first, then eases as the candied-citrus notes and baked orchard fruits show themselves finishing with flinty minerality and a persistent, long-lived perlage." Wine Enthusiast
"The Dosage Zéro Franciacorta Vintage Collection 2018 tantalises the senses. It is rich with a pleasant sweetness on the nose that balances buttery brioche with crushed yellow apples, chamomile and ground ginger. The palate is edgy and minerally, with a striking presence where luxurious, creamy bubbles are balanced by bracing acidity and notes of raw almond mingle with tart fruit. The 2018 finishes dramatically long, with an echo of tension that leaves a saline note and a vibrant hint of Asian pear. What a beauty. It convinces in every respect." Vinous

“Cuvée Prestige Rosé Edizione 45” Franciacorta DOCG brut
Elegance is the hallmark of the Prestige Cuvée Rosé, which is unfortunately strictly limited each year. The 45th edition consists of 80% Pinot Noir from the 2020 harvest year and 20% Chardonnay in equal parts from the 2019 and 2020 harvest years. Brilliant, bright pink colour. Delicate apricot colour, very light bouquet of peaches, light fruits and sultanas. The persistent flavour is soft and fruity with subtle notes of fresh toast. SUPERIORE.DE
"Sweet roses, liquorice, dried strawberries and incense form a seductive bouquet when the MV Extra Brut Rosé Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige 45 Edizione blossoms in the glass. Its minerality is evident in the foreground, perfectly balanced by the plush, massaging bubbles that fade into hints of tart cherries. The finish is dramatically long and reminiscent of red candy, while a strong residual acidity keeps the mouth watering." Vinous
"A firm, mineral rosé with a fine mousse and a detailed flavour palette of dried black cherries and raspberries, chopped almonds and aromatic hints of dried flowers and herbs. There is a salty note on the finish that cleanses the wine." Wine Spectator
"It opens with aromas of wild strawberries, cranberry, fresh brioche and wild rose. Balanced between tart fruits, savory herbs and minerality, the wine dances on the palate with complexity and enjoyability in tandem, finishing with elegance and grace." Wine Enthusiast

Limitation of 6 articles per customer“61” Franciacorta Millesimato Rosé DOCG 2016 brut nature
The "61" line stands for the year of birth of the first Franciacorta, which was created in 1961 in the centuries-old Berlucchi vineyards. The grapes come from four vineyards between Corte Franca and Provaglio d'Iseo.
Delicate peach-pink colour. Beguiling aroma of cranberry, citrus with a mineral component. On the palate, a fine note of bread and yeast mixed with the strength, acidity and tannin of Pinot Nero, rich foam and a fine, persistent perlage. An aristocratic bittersweet note and graceful creaminess on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, brilliant orange-red colour with a fine perlage. Delicate aromas of strawberry and raspberry on the nose, blood orange, orange blossom and light spice on the finish. Strong perlage on the palate, very nice acidity and an elegant final." Falstaff
"The 2016 Rosé Nature Franciacorta Berlucchi '61 is rich and complex, with a wild bouquet of crushed plums, cinnamon-spiked apples, nectarine and rose. This envelopes the palate in silken textures, communicating remarkable elegance and refinement, as wild strawberry combines with salty minerals and hints of almond toward the close. The 2016 finishes long yet incredibly fresh, with red inner florals and a sensation of liquid stone that lingers on. Well done." Vinous
"This complex and vinous wine from the historic Berlucchi estate opens with strawberries and cream, dried roses and rhubarb brioche. The palate reveals a darker cherry flavour with a creamy texture carried by the wine's energy." Wine Enthusiast
