In 1991, it received a more recognizable and terroir-faithful style under the name Franciacorta Brut N.V. In 2005, after more than 30 years of research and dedication, it became Cuvée Prestige and gained its own clearly defined identity. After a constant reduction in dosage during pressing to highlight the characteristics of the origin grapes, the 2017 vintage is enriched with the attribute Edition, so that the various nuances of each interpretation settle in the taste memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige Edizione 47 presents itself straw yellow with emerald green nuances in the glass. It enchants the nose with an enveloping scent of candied citrus zest, kiwi, papaya, and freshly baked bread. Its perlage is very fine-grained and elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it is very lively and presents itself fresh and pleasantly juicy, supported by a fascinating aftertaste of fragrant citrus notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transparent glass bottle is wrapped in an orange plastic foil to protect the contents from light rays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base wines of the Ca‘ del Bosco Cuvée Prestige are the result of a careful selection of grapes and skillful winemaking, carried out according to the Ca‘ del Bosco method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige Edizione 47, the grapes come from Chardonnay vines with an average age of over 30 years, located in the municipalities of Erbusco, Adro, Cazzago San Martino, Corte Franca, Iseo, and Passirano. Additionally, grapes from Pinot Bianco vines with an average age of 30 years from the municipality of Passirano were used, and finally, grapes from Pinot Nero vines with an average age of 23 years from the municipalities of Erbusco, Provaglio d’Iseo, and Passirano. Overall, this special Franciacorta Cuvée mainly consists of wines from the 2021 harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes, hand-harvested in small crates, are sorted and cooled. Each grape is selected by expert eyes and hands to then enjoy the exclusive “grape bath”: a special system for washing and hydromassage of the grapes, consisting of three soaking basins and a drying tunnel. After pressing under oxygen exclusion, all musts of the base wines ferment in temperature-controlled steel tanks and remain there until the following March. Then the wine must mature for seven months to clarify, mature, and fully express the character of the original vineyards. Afterwards, the wines are skillfully blended in the “magical rite” of cuvée creation. Only after at least 2 years of aging on the lees can this Franciacorta express its full richness and identity. The disgorging is carried out under oxygen exclusion using a unique system developed and patented by Ca‘ del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shocks and further additions of sulfites. As a result, the Franciacorta wines are purer, more pleasant, and longer-lasting.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFinally, each packaged bottle is clearly labeled to ensure traceability.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"piemont express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57157714739582,"sku":"CDB-CP-47","price":27.65,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.piemont-express.de\/en-intl\/products\/ca-del-bosco-cuvee-prestige-franciacorta-extra-brut-edizione-47","provider":"Piemont Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
