What kind of wine is it

Franciacorta Extra Brut Cuvée Prestige by Ca’ del Bosco is a Traditional Method wine made from a blend that highlights Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Blanc. It is produced by combining base wines with the addition of prestigious reserves, resulting in a balanced and extremely precise style. The twenty-eight months ageing on the lees shapes an elegant profile, fresh and fruity, with remarkable complexity.

Where does it come from

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

How is it made

The grape bunches are handpicked and undergo a separate vinification to preserve each varietal characteristic. The grapes are cooled, carefully selected and whole pressed. The different base wines then compose the final blend, along with reserve vintages. The extended period on the lees before release guarantees great structure, a remarkable balance, and deep finesse.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows a bright straw yellow color, consistent with the Extra Brut dosage. The bouquet releases scents of peach and citrus, enriched by almond notes that outline a clean nose. On the palate it is fresh and fruity, with a flowing dynamic and a balanced finish. The expected period of ageing also gives the sip a clear compactness.

Food pairings

It is the ideal companion for fish dishes and raw seafood, as it subtly supports the main ingredient. It also creates a perfect match with fresh cheeses and successfully enhances classic preparations such as seafood salad or a fine seafood risotto.

When to serve it

Its innate elegance makes it appealing whenever a precise sip with clear immediate flavor is desired.
