2007 is a defining year for the Ca’ del Bosco winery as the cCuvée Prestige is born, a product that is the child of thirty years of experience, continuous evolution and great ambition. It is definitely the image product of Ca’ Del Bosco, recognizable to all thanks in part to the orange paper that protects it from direct light.

The complexity of dosing the assemblage of this cuvée each year, so as to preserve its organoleptic constancy, can be deduced from the variety of its grapes: 96 different chardonnay vines with an average age of 27 years, 3 pinot blanc parcels about 21 years old, and 17 pinot noir vines 19 years old on average. Harvest is by hand, fermentation takes place in steel tanks, with 7 months of aging. The grapes are then blended with the reserve wines, about 20-30%; this is followed by aging on the lees for 25 months and a dosage of about 4 g/l of sugar at dégorgement.

The distinguishing features of the Cuvée Prestige? Freshness, pleasantness and linear drinkability.

A chameleon product that can be paired with different types of dishes, from beef carpaccio to raw fish or slightly more structured dishes such as risotto or grilled fish main courses.

It is straw yellow in color to the eye, with a fine and delicate perlage. The nose is marked by notes of white flowers, yellow-fleshed but still crisp fruit, herbaceous features indicative of youth and in the end fine notes of pastry. Tasting it, the freshness and good minerality make for a very pleasant sip. Balanced in that on the finish the wine leaves a good smoothness. The bubble teases our palate to continuous drinking.

The Jeroboam (3L) size lends itself to celebrations and conviviality, or, with its complimentary trendy leather bag, to be the ideal companion for a long weekend…
