DESIGNATION
Franciacorta.

GRAPE VARIETIES
Chardonnay 83%, Pinot Bianco 5%, Pinot Nero 12%

VINIFICATION
The base wines that go into Cuvée Prestige are the fruit of accurate cluster selection and expert
vinification, carried out in line with the Ca’ del Bosco Method. 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.
