Ca' del Bosco "Cuvée Prestige" Edizione, Franciacorta, Lombardy - 750ML

Ca’ del Bosco Cuvée Prestige Edizione 48 is the signature Franciacorta of one of Lombardy’s most respected sparkling-wine estates. Produced using the traditional method, with secondary fermentation in the bottle, this edition draws its character from the 2023 harvest and the added complexity of reserve wines. It offers a distinctly Italian interpretation of fine sparkling wine, combining ripe orchard fruit, polished texture and refreshing acidity.

Blend: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Bianco

Tasting Notes: Golden apple, ripe pear and white peach are complemented by lemon zest, delicate white flowers and freshly baked bread. The palate is smooth and finely textured, with a persistent mousse, bright citrus freshness and subtle notes of toasted almond. A gently savory, mineral finish adds definition to the wine’s generous fruit.

Structure: Medium-bodied, with a creamy yet lively mousse and a balanced interplay of ripe fruit and fresh acidity. Chardonnay brings elegance and precision, Pinot Noir adds breadth, and Pinot Bianco contributes a softer, rounded dimension.

Drink Window: Enjoy now through approximately 2030. Edizione 48 is designed to be approachable upon release, while a few additional years of careful cellaring can encourage greater toasted and savory complexity.

Serving: Serve around 46–50°F in a tulip-shaped sparkling-wine or white-wine glass. Allow a few minutes after pouring for its fruit, delicate pastry notes and layered texture to emerge.

Ca’ del Bosco Cuvée Prestige Edizione 48 is an excellent introduction to the quality and character of Franciacorta, offering refinement and versatility beyond the more familiar sparkling-wine regions. Its combination of freshness, texture and subtle complexity makes it equally appealing for celebrations or alongside risotto, seafood, prosciutto, roast poultry and aged Italian cheeses.
