$80.00
The history of Ca del Bosco can be traced to the mid-1960's, when Annamaria Clementi Zanella bought a house on a hill in Erbusco, surrounded by a dense forest of Chestnuts, which was known locally as "Ca' del Bosc". Today the winery is known for its production of Franciacorta. Annamaria's son Maurizio Zanella, who is celebrated as one of the great figures of the revival of Italian wines, reinvigorated the domain allowing it to reach the highest level of excellence. Here tradition and technology are at the service of the vine and the terroir and great care is taken to limit the amount of intervention. The domain stretches over 150 hectares in the Franciacorta appellation.
The wine is placed in small casks – 70% new oak, carefully selected and seasoned for a minimum of 3 years. Only after malolactic fermentation, by mid-winter, are the different batches racked and blended. The Maurizio Zanella then continues to age in oak for approx. 12 months. Later on, the batches are assembled and the wine is gravity bottled, in a natural way.
