The bond between Franciacorta and Ca’ del Bosco grows ever stronger and unbreakable. Every year, different expressions of this synergy give rise to new wines, dedicated to those who love wine and want to grasp its deepest nuances: now it’s the turn of Cuvée Prestige Edizione 42, a multi-vintage wine in true Ca’ del Bosco style.
Cuvée Prestige Ca’ del Bosco Edizione 42 interprets the essence of Franciacorta through a blend of reserve wines from the collection. There are 139 in all, from 141 vineyard plots and 4 different vintages. Aged on the lees for at least 25 months, with a low dosage and an Extra Brut taste, this Cuvée Prestige stands out for its freshness and balance on the palate, and surprises with its great aromatic richness. Like all Ca’ del Bosco Franciacorta wines, Edizione 42 is pleasant and pure, thanks to the oxygen-free dégorgement system devised and patented by the winery.
Cuvée Prestige Edizione 42 is the result of a project that aims to make the most of a unique heritage, built up over many years of meticulous work, which Ca’ del Bosco will interpret in its own exclusive way every year with new editions of this special Cuvée Prestige: now it’s the turn of the forty-second!
From Cuvée Prestige to the Ca’ del Bosco method
Cuvée Prestige is the soul of the Erbusco winery. In this wine Ca’ del Bosco brings together the taste and scent of the territory, the qualities of the grapes and the art of winemaking refined over the years; at its heart is the magical ritual of creating the Cuvée, in which the winery blends the base wines with the noble reserve wines of the best vintages. It is completed by an average of 25 months’ ageing on the lees and an oxygen-free dégorgement that avoids oxidative shock and further additions of sulphites. It is often at precisely this stage that the wine undergoes severe stress, and to counter it producers use large doses of sulphur dioxide and antioxidants. Ca’ del Bosco, instead, patented a special corking machine that solves the problem at source, using technology that removes the oxygen before corking.
The result is a pure, pleasant and long-lived Ca’ del Bosco Franciacorta, a sparkling wine that expresses its richness with a decisive, unmistakable personality.
It is the method that sets it clearly apart from other wines. An approach born of a strong ambition, one that goes beyond obstacles and follows a path where tradition, quality and territory stay together at all costs and evolve towards an idea of innovation that combines modernity and history.
The goal is excellence.
That is why the Ca’ del Bosco method also means the utmost attention to detail, to every gesture and every small nuance, starting in the vineyard: the grapes, picked into crates, are graded and chilled, and each bunch is selected and then treated with a washing and hydromassage system in soaking tanks. Healthy, clean grapes are the foundation of great wines. Every detail, in crushing and ageing, contributes significantly to the desired result, even the bottle-washing system, the choice of corks and the unique marking of each bottle that guarantees its traceability.
Ca’ del Bosco wines to personalize
The idea of giving a unique bottle as a gift has led to the option of personalizing some Ca’ del Bosco Cuvée Prestige labels.
