Vintage Collection Dosage Zéro Noir Franciacorta Ca 'del Bosco

The Vintage Collection Dosage Zéro Noir comes from a careful selection of Pinot Noir grapes first in the vineyard then in the cellar and from a skilful vinification conducted in full respect of our savoir-faire. The grapes, freshly picked by hand in small boxes, are traced to the vineyard of origin and cooled. Each bunch is selected by expert eyes and hands. The grape has a colorless pulp but a black skin: in order to create the base of Dosage Zero Noir it is essential that the juice, the extracted must remain white or slightly pink. This is why the pressing takes place strictly at low pressure, so that the peel remains intact and does not lose color. The musts thus obtained ferment in small oak barrels. To seek the maximum aromatic complexity and expressive power, without losing elegance, the barrel elevation has a duration of only 5 months. A pair of floating tanks allows the decanting of wines by gravity, from small barrels to aging tanks. Six months after the harvest, the three base wines, coming from the three vineyards of origin, are mixed and assembled, so that the proportion between delicacy, nervousness, vinosity and aroma is optimal. Pinot Noir transmits its complex aromas of red fruits to the wine and gives it body, persistence in the mouth and longevity. The magic of its terroir, combined with the skills of men, have given rise to a wine of exceptional purity. To reach its maximum qualitative expression and to develop the characteristic aromatic profile that makes it unique, it takes 8 years of refinement. A Franciacorta rightly ennobled by the “Riserva” classification. The dégorgement takes place in the absence of oxygen, using a unique system in the world, designed and patented by Ca 'del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shocks and further additions of sulphites. It makes our Franciacortas purer, more pleasant and longer-lived. So that this "blanc de noir" can express itself with great personality and transmit the typicality of the terroir from which it was born, we have chosen not to add any liqueur to the disgorgement. Each packaged bottle is uniquely marked, to ensure traceability.
