Winery:
The base wines of the Cuvée Prestige are the result of a careful selection of grapes and a skilful vinification carried out in full compliance with the Ca' del Bosco Method. The grapes, hand-picked in small crates, are classified and cooled. Each bunch is selected by expert eyes and hands, to then benefit from exclusive "grape spas". A special system for washing and hydromassage the bunches, using 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 aging are therefore necessary for the wine to clarify, mature and 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 at least 2 years can this Franciacorta express all its richness and identity. The disgorgement takes place in the absence of oxygen, using a unique system, designed and patented by Ca’ del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shock and further additions of sulphites. It makes our Franciacortas purer, more pleasant and longer-lived. Finally, each bottle is uniquely marked to ensure traceability.
