Ca' del Bosco is on the leading edge of the exciting new wave of Italian wine producers, making absolutely top-quality sparkling and still wines. Maurizio Zanella founded the winery in 1968, and dedicated himself to distinguishing the sparkling wines of Franciacorta. The winery owns more than 230 acres in the region, with vineyards planted to Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Pinot Nero and other indigenous Franciacorta grapes. Ca' del Bosco's reputation for sparkling wines has been secured by the excellence of its cuvees.
93 Points - Wine Enthusiast
This perennial classic always seems to deliver. The 45th edition opens with aromas of baked apple, brioche, baking spices, creme fraiche, lemon zest and ginger. The palate backs it all up with ripe orchard fruits, lemon curd and persistent minerality, finishing with lively acidity.
92 Points - Wine Spectator
A firm, minerally sparkling rose, with a plush quality to the fine mousse and a detailed flavor range of dried black cherry and raspberry fruit, chopped almond and aromatic hints of dried flowers and herbs. Reveals saline tang that cleans the finish.
91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Celebrating a big anniversary, the Ca' del Bosco NV Franciacorta Cuvee Prestige Extra Brut 45 Edizione is mostly Chardonnay with smaller parts Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco. It's a blend of vintage and reserve wines from 2020, 2019 and 2018, and it ages on the lees for 25 months to produce aromas of rich lemon and freshly baked pie crust. The beading is visibly very light and delicate, and the palate is too. This is a very gentle sparkler with medium-plus freshness.
90 Points - James Suckling
Lemon, grapefruit, honey and saltines on the nose. Crisp and fresh, with a medium body and relatively gentle bubbles. Dry and crisp finish.
