Franciacorta - Cuvée Prestige Rose Ca’ del Bosco DOCG Transition. More than a color, pink is like a suspended mood, a delicate transition from white to red in shades never quite one or the other. Franciacorta Rosé gives a magical sensation
midpoint between two hues. The rosé color is obtained after brief maceration of red Pinot Nero grapes. Just a few hours are needed to get that special tint recalling springtime sunsets: you must seize the moment, an
instant earlier it's too pale, an instant later it's too dark. And then a delicate blending with Chardonnay and
slow, patient maturation. Cuvée Prestige Rosé, the ideal Franciacorta for momentous occasions. Especially the most romantic.
Grape Varieties : Pinot Nero 75%, Chardonnay 25% Maturation sur lies : For an average of 30 months. Region : Lombardia, Erbusco

Franciacorta - Vintage Collection Satèn 2008 Ca’ del Bosco DOCG Femininity. Smooth, luxurious, ripe, soft, rounded. Evokes the enchanting sensuality of the woman of one's heart. One of those wines that thrill the senses. Satèn, with the femininity and elegance of silk, is a special interpretation of a Franciacorta: a felicitous marriage of white grapes only. And a little secret: during tirage, when sugars and yeasts are added to initiate second fermentation in the bottle, Satèn is given less sugar. Finally, lengthy refinement enhances gentle elegance in every single bottle. Delicious as an aperitif and excellent as a conversation wine.

Franciacorta - Cuvée Annamaria Clementi Rosé Ca’ del Bosco DOCG
Harmony. A whispered sound. A hue hinted at. The perception of a fragrance.
