1976 – this was Maurizio Zanella's first rosé bottling from Ca' del Bosco. He simply called it "Rosé Ca' del Bosco". What was an experiment back then is now number 47 in a continuous process: since 2018, each edition has had its own number because Zanella and his team are convinced that each composition has its own sensory signature – and that this signature should be memorialised. Edizione 47 is based on the 2022 harvest year – a hot, dry summer in Franciacorta, which forced an early harvest on 6 August. 14 days, 7,800 kilograms per hectare, a harvest under pronounced water stress. The result is wines with good structure and pleasantly fresh acidity, with fruity notes over a clear citrus base. 80% Pinot Noir from twelve vineyards in Erbusco, Adro, Iseo and Passirano – on average 34-year-old vines – and 20% Chardonnay from seven parcels, half reserve wines 2021, half base wines 2022.

Vinification is a craft in every step: each grape is washed and dried in the in-house "Berry Spa". The Pinot Noir macerates on the skins for 24 to 36 hours – only as long as it takes to achieve the characteristic delicate pink colour. Then separate fermentation in small oak barrels and steel tanks. Assemblage after seven months. Tirage March 2023, 30 months on the lees in underground cellars at a constant 12°C. The dégorgement takes place without oxygen – a process patented by Ca' del Bosco. Dosage: 0.5 g/l – in fact an Extra Brut.

Delicate salmon-pink colour with a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, strawberry, raspberry, citrus blossom, a hint of brioche and yeast pastry from long contact. Fresh and well-structured on the palate, with lively acidity and a long, clean final. A rosé icon, retold number for number. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling, light cherry red with a fine perlage. Inviting bouquet of fresh raspberries and blood orange, followed by a hint of strawberry meringue. Gentle on the palate, then with a juicy mousseux, with supporting acidity and compact fruit through to the lingering final." Falstaff
