“Corte del Lupo” Rosso Curtefranca DOC 2017
2017 is the second vintage of the "new" Curtefranca Rosso. It is a journey into the past of the region and the winery. This cuvée combines in a very harmonious way the fruitiness of the Merlot with the elegance of the Cabernet Franc and the fullness of the Carménère grape. A third of Cabernet Sauvignon provides backbone, structure and stability and ensures good ageing potential. Dark ruby garnet, in the nose an inviting blackberry and cherry scent with a sweet spicy note. On the palate a lively, powerful fruit and juicy tannin, already well balanced. SUPERIORE.DE

“Cuvée Prestige” Franciacorta DOCG Brut
The excellent Cuvée Prestige is a perfect archetype of its DOC: elegant, fresh, full, with continuous perlage and beautiful body. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, brilliant straw yellow. Fragrant and fine on the nose, delicate flower, then pineapple, peach and lemon, subtle smoke. Shows extra sweet on the palate with golden fruit, lots of microscopic bubbles frame the drink, lovely creaminess, a safe bet." Falstaff
"The Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige, an Extra Brut style of Franciacorta, is remarkably pretty with floral perfumes and white smoke blossoming into a pure display of ripe pear and hints of lemon confit. It’s round and pliant, balanced by a brilliant mix of bright acids and minerals that gives way to yellow apples. The finish is wonderfully dry and clean, tapering off to hints of savory spice. It’s a great introduction to the Ca' del Bosco portfolio." Vinous
"Some bread dough and pie crust to the lightly cooked apples and hints of pear skins. It’s full-bodied with a round texture and a flavorful finish. Consistently delicious." James Suckling

Franciacorta Satèn Brut with a clear bouquet of yellow fruits and medicinal herbs and fresh style. Crisp fruit tones of peach, citrus and melon in harmony with the opulent creaminess of freshly baked brioche. Finishes very relaxed and long. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2015 Franciacorta Vintage Collection Satèn lifts up with spicy florals, hints of incense and a whiff of salty sea air. It’s remarkably pure and lifted, showing a more savory display of tart orchard fruits and minerals, while gaining depth and richness as the wine warms in the glass. There’s a hint of hazelnut and brown spice that lingers long on the structured and tension-filled finale." Vinous
"A blend of 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Bianco, this polished sparkler offers heady aromas evoking field flower, white stone fruit and a whiff of baked bread. Mirroring the nose, the creamy palate doles out yellow apple, white peach, baking spice and pastry dough alongside a silky perlage before a candied lemon-drop close. Fresh acidity brightens the rich flavors." Wine Enthusiast

Translated the name means "House in the forest". The house acquired in 1964 by Annamaria Clementi Zanella in Franciacorta became a winery only four years later, when the owner decided to use the two hectares of land belonging to the Erbusco estate for the cultivation of grapes. If the mother of the estate founder Maurizio Zanella had decided otherwise at that time, wine lovers would have been deprived of some of the finest wines of Italy. The Ca Winery' del Bosco is owned by Maurizio Zanella, one of the most innovative wine producers in the country and by the Marzotto family of Venetian industrialists active in the fashion, wine and glass sectors.
Zanella is considered to be one of the pioneers who contributed to the enormous rise of Franciacorta south of Lago d'Iseo; he is also President of the DOC Consortium. As co-owner, the Marzotto Group primarily provides capital and has invested heavily in its distribution network. Whether spumanti or still wines - Ca' del Bosco confirms again and again the high quality standard of its noble drops, which are unmistakable in their style.
Designed by Maurizio Zanella and top specialists, the Lombard winery has become an icon of Franciacorta sparkling wine in the world. The company has grown considerably since its foundation and is regarded as a showpiece in terms of architecture and technical infrastructure. In rapid succession, the ultra-modern company used more sophisticated systems for managing the vineyards and processing the grapes. The staff around the renowned oenologist Stefano Capelli is highly qualified and guarantees that the high quality of the small fruits also reaches the bottle. The sparkling wines of Ca' del Bosco can compete with the best sparkling wines from Champagne. They maintain their fineness during several years of bottle storage on the yeast.
Inner devotion and special attention accompany you in the Ca winery.' del Bosco every stage of the production process. Maurizio is always guided by the latest scientific findings when it comes to grape cultivation. All the vineyards have been restructured. The transport of the wines in the cellar takes place without pump employment only by gravity. The barriques, which are intended for the mostly very long storage of the plants, are produced in the in-house cooperage from French oak.
The Blessed Sacrament of Ca' del Bosco, the wine cellar, not only houses a sea of bottles and barrels in its vaults reminiscent of the ancient Pantheon in Rome, but is also full of works by contemporary artists. The magical place inspired star photographer Helmut Newton, for example, to create one of his cool portrait series with challenging posing women. SUPERIORE.DE
"You have to have been there to understand the full extent of the innovations introduced by Maurizio Zanella. This volcano of a president, if he sleeps at all, has never rested on his laurels, restless, in sheer superhuman striving he is in search of the perfect wine ideal."Gambero Rosso
