// Chardonnay 80.5%, Pinot Blanc 1.5% and Pinot Noir 17%
"Chardonnay, Pinot bianco and Pinot Nero from 240 certified organic vineyards. 88% vintage wines 2023, 10% reserve wines 2022, 2% reserve wines 2021. The grapes are hand-picked and placed in small crates, graded and chilled. Every bunch is selected by trained eyes and hands, just before they go through our exclusive “berry spa”, a special whirlpool-like wash for grape bunches, consisting of three soaking tanks, followed by thorough drying in a special tunnel. After pressing in an oxygen-free press, all the musts of the base wines ferment in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, where they remain until the following month of March. The wines take seven months to settle, mature and express the very best characteristics of their vineyards of origin. The wines are then carefully assembled in the “magical ritual” that creates the cuvée. Only after aging on the lees for at least 2 years will this Franciacorta express all its richness and identity. Disgorgement is carried out in an oxygen-free environment, using a proprietary process designed and patented by Ca’ del Bosco. This procedure prevents oxidative shocks and makes it unnecessary to add sulfites, making our Franciacortas purer, more appealing and longer lived. Finally, every bottle is marked with a unique identifier to ensure its traceability." - Ca' del Bosco, Winemaker
"The wickedly fresh NV Extra Brut Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige 48 Edizione bursts from the glass with a captivating mix of crushed green apples, candied lime, basil and nuances of fermented ginger. This is silken in feel, with a wave of soothingly soft bubbles offset by a core of zesty acidity as crisp orchard fruits cascade across the palate. It finishes long and full of tension, leaving the palate salivating with a salty mineral inflection. Disgorged: Fall 2025. (Drink between 2026-2029)" - 92 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous
