What kind of wine is it

Franciacorta Extra Brut Cuvée Prestige from Ca’ del Bosco is a Traditional Method wine crafted from a blend showcasing Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Blanc.

Ageing on the lees for twenty-eight months defines an elegant profile, fresh and fruity, offering remarkable complexity.

Where it comes from

This wine comes from the Franciacorta appellation and is the result of a careful selection of grapes harvested from one hundred thirty-four parcels. Its origin in a hilly context supports a clear and recognizable expression, perfectly in line with the producer's style. This label aims to be a faithful territorial synthesis, able to ensure a consistent overall character in each blend.

How it is made

The grapes are hand-picked and vinified separately to preserve the characteristics of each variety. The grapes are chilled, meticulously selected and pressed whole. The different base wines are then blended together with reserve vintages. The prolonged aging on the lees before release gives the wine great structure, remarkable balance and deep finesse.

Tasting notes

It also pairs beautifully with fresh cheeses and successfully enhances classic preparations such as seafood salad or a good seafood risotto.

When to serve it
