Cellar
"Ca' del Bosco", one of the most prestigious wine houses in the Franciacorta area, a symbol of Made in Italy excellence in the world. Its story began in the mid-1960s, when Annamaria Clementi bought "Ca' del Bosco", a small house in the hills of Erbusco, two hectares of property immersed in a dense forest of oak and chestnut trees. It has always been the source of inspiration for her son Maurizio who, thanks to his passion, transformed this small house into a wine excellence, a leader in the production of Franciacorta.

Vinification
The Pinot Noir grapes, once transported over the vat, are separated from the stems and the berries fall in, from above, by gravity. Maceration 'in pink' is carried out for 24-36 hours: just a few hours to 'seize the moment', that is, to obtain that particular and delicate shade of pink that distinguishes Franciacorta Rosé in the bottle. Then the must, separated from the skins, ferments in small barrels and steel vats at a controlled temperature. The Chardonnay grapes are vinified in the traditional way, with pressing of the whole bunches. The best fractions of must ferment in vats, separately. After 7 months of ageing, the 'magic rite' of creating the cuvée is performed by blending the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines.
