Vinification: The base wines of the Cuvée Prestige are the result of a careful selection of grapes and skilful vinification conducted in full compliance with the Ca' del Bosco Method. The grapes, harvested by hand in small boxes, are classified and cooled. Each bunch is selected by expert eyes and hands, to then benefit from exclusive "berry spas": a particular bunch washing and hydromassage system consisting of three soaking tanks and a drying tunnel. After pressing in the absence of oxygen, all the musts of the base wines ferment in thermo-conditioned steel tanks and remain there until the following March. Seven months of refinement are therefore necessary for the wine to clarify, mature and best bring out the character of the vineyards of origin. The wines are then expertly assembled in the "magic ritual" of creating the cuvée. Only after aging on the lees for a minimum of 2 years can this Franciacorta express all its richness and identity. Dégorgement occurs in the absence of oxygen, using a unique system, designed and patented by Ca' del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shocks and further additions of sulphites. It makes our Franciacorta purer, more pleasant and longer-lived. Finally, each packaged bottle is uniquely marked to ensure traceability.
