Ca’ del Bosco 2016 Vintage Collection Brut DOCG – Franciacorta at its best

Ca’ del Bosco 2016 Vintage Collection Brut DOCG is an iconic sparkling wine from Franciacorta in Lombardy – an area considered Italy’s answer to Champagne. This is a vintage wine in the DOCG category, made with uncompromising precision and dedication to quality. A wine that combines elegance, complexity and Italian finesse in every single bubble.

This Vintage Collection Brut is created from a classic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco. The grapes are hand-picked from carefully selected vineyards and vinified with great respect for the terroir and the character of the vintage. 2016 was a very successful vintage in Franciacorta, which is evident in the balance and structure of the wine.

The wine is made using the traditional method of second fermentation in the bottle – the same principle as in Champagne. The long ageing on the lees adds depth, complexity and a creamy mousse that elevates the experience to an exclusive level. The result is a dry (Brut) sparkling wine with precision, finesse and longevity.

Ca’ del Bosco 2016 Vintage Collection Brut is ideal for festive occasions, seafood, fish, light meat dishes or as a luxurious glass when only the best is good enough.
