Ca' del Bosco's "Cuvée Prestige" Franciacorta is a distinguished sparkling wine from Italy's Lombardy region, embodying the essence of Franciacorta's winemaking tradition. Established in 1976, this cuvée has evolved over decades, reflecting the winery's dedication to quality and innovation. The "Cuvée Prestige" is meticulously crafted from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, and Pinot Nero grapes, sourced from 228 certified organic vineyards. Each grape bunch undergoes a unique washing and drying process to ensure purity. Fermentation occurs over seven months in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by a maturation period of 25 months on the lees, enhancing the wine's complexity and depth. In the glass, this Franciacorta displays a brilliant gold hue with a fine, persistent perlage. The nose is complex, offering aromas of fresh fruits like apple and pear, complemented by floral notes of linden and subtle hints of acacia honey and green tea. On the palate, it is exuberant yet firm, with a mineral focus that leads to a refined finish with a touch of dried almond.
