Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige Rosé by Ca' Del Bosco is an iconic Italian sparkling wine that rivals even the finest champagnes. Crafted using the traditional Méthode Traditionnelle of Champagne, it boasts the same rich character and aristocratic finesse—but with an Italian flair! This means more expressive and ripe fruit aromas, and a slightly more delicate acidity. We were enchanted by the aromas of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry, complemented by rose petal notes and a persistent finish, all bottled into a refined rosé sparkling wine that reflects the elegance of Franciacorta—produced by a winery that’s anything but ordinary!
The story of Ca' Del Bosco begins in the 1960s, when Annamaria Clementi Zanella purchased a house on the Ca’ del Bosco hill, surrounded by dense chestnut forests. Her son, Maurizio Zanella, quickly recognized the potential of Franciacorta and its exceptional terroir for producing high-quality grapes. He traveled to Champagne to study the traditional method of champagne production in depth, with the goal of applying it back home. As a result, he created iconic sparkling wines using the exact same method as champagne (Méthode Traditionnelle), which went on to gain international acclaim!
Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige Rosé is a blend of approximately 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, vinified separately and aged for 7 months before being blended along with reserve vintages. After the first fermentation, the wine is bottled and undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, followed by 30 months of aging on the lees in the winery’s cellar. There, it develops flawless balance, a luscious creamy texture, and unique aromas of biscuit and hazelnut—showcasing the art of fine winemaking and making it simply irresistible!
