Seductive and harmonious. Smoky, berry flavors and silky texture caress the palate all the way--until the finely-grained tannins take over on the finish. The sweet fruit and smoky notes echo on the aftertaste.
– (Wine Spectator)
It has the fine fragrance of small, black summer fruits (blackcurrants, blackberries and raspberries). Extremely smooth to the taste, it leaves a lingering ripe fruit impression.
– Winemaker at Ca' del Bosco Pinot noir is the bane and delight of some of the greatest winegrowers in the world. It is a difficult vine. It is a sight specific grape, so it is only successful in a few areas of the world and, even then, not every year.
Ca’del Bosco took up the challenge in 1983. In many blind tastings, carried out by great international experts, it has outclassed the big names from Burgundy. It is elegance personified.
About the Estate:
Ca' del Bosco is on the leading edge of the exciting new wave of Italian wine producers, making absolutely top-quality sparkling and still wines. Maurizio Zanella founded the winery in 1968, and dedicated himself to distinguishing the sparkling wines of Franciacorta. The reviews are in, and Ca' del Bosco is, as Hugh Johnson puts it, "One of Italy's best sparkling-winemakers." The winery owns more than 230 acres in the region, with vineyards planted to Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Carmenere, Merlot, Pinot Nero and other indigenous Franciacorta grapes. Ca' del Bosco's reputation for sparkling wines has been secured by the excellence of its cuvées.www.cadelbosco.it
