“Corte del Lupo” Rosso Curtefranca DOC 2019
This cuvée is a traditional grape blend of the region and combines the fruitiness of the Merlot with the elegance of the Cabernet Franc and the fullness of the Carménère grape in a very harmonious way. A third of Cabernet Sauvignon provides backbone, structure and stability and a good ageing potential. Dark ruby garnet, an inviting nose of blackberries and cherries with a sweet hint of spices. On the palate a lively, powerful fruit and juicy tannin, already nicely balanced. SUPERIORE.DE

The pure Pinot Nero Franciacorta Annamaria Clementi Rosé is bright pink in colour with delicate amber tones. 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. It is silky and supple, with a slowly rising structure, yet still manages to surprise with notes of apple and savoury spices, which are then enlivened by a juicy acidity. There is a lingering inner sweetness that mingles with an aftertaste of concentrated red forest berries that lingers for over a minute. One of Italy's greatest sparkling wines! SUPERIORE.DE
"A salmon-orange colored sparkling with inviting aromas of dried flowers, honey, grapefruit, hazelnuts and gingerbread. Hints of cloves, too. Firm, driven and dry, with excellent structure and weight and tight bubbles. Long, spicy and almost chewy finish. Might even be better in a few years when it has softened." James Suckling

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
