Ca' del Bosco

This cuvée is a traditional blend of grapes from the region and harmoniously combines the fruitiness of Merlot with the elegance of Cabernet Franc and the richness of Carménère grapes. The Cabernet Sauvignon provides backbone, structure and stability as well as good ageing potential. Dark ruby-garnet in colour, the nose has an inviting aroma of blackberries and cherries with a sweet hint of spices. Lively, powerful fruit and juicy tannins on the palate, already beautifully balanced. SUPERIORE.DE

Corte del Lupo Bianco celebrated its debut with the 2017 vintage and is the successor to the classic Curtefranca Bianco, which has been a favourite for years. The grapes come from 11 historic vineyards planted with Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco. They are over 30 years old. Bright straw yellow in colour, with a fresh apricot aroma, fine woody notes and a structured, balanced flavour. Spicy and round on the palate, with a fine acidity and a mineral note on the finish.

It beguiles the senses with a subtle bouquet of dried strawberries and zesty citrus fruits, contrasted by the richness of raw almonds and sweet white smoke.
