Buy Wine from Ca’ Del Bosco
In the heart of the Franciacorta region, in northern Italy, lies one of the most emblematic jewels of Italian sparkling wine: Ca' del Bosco. What is today an absolute reference in the world of wine, began as a modest house among chestnut and oak trees in Erbusco, acquired by Annamaria Clementi in the 1960s. Her son, Maurizio Zanella, saw in that corner of the forest a unique opportunity: to transform a passion into a legacy.
From 1968, when the first vineyard was planted, until the official founding of the winery in 1969, the path was clear: to seek not only quality, but identity, innovation and beauty. Ca' del Bosco was not content to follow a tradition; it reinvented it, raising the name of Franciacorta to the international stage.
A manifesto of precision and aesthetics
At Ca' del Bosco, the vines are not cultivated: they are cared for with obsession. Every step - from the vineyard to the bottle - responds to the same principle: uncompromising excellence. The manual selection of bunches, the exclusive system of washing the grapes with soaking baths, the use of selected yeasts and ageing in controlled conditions are all part of a process designed with almost surgical meticulousness.
This technical approach does not exclude emotion. Art and architecture coexist with viticulture, making the winery a place where wine becomes a cultural expression. Contemporary sculptures, visual installations and refined aesthetics reinforce the idea that each bottle is a total work of art.
Franciacorta: terroir as identity
The strength of Ca' del Bosco is deeply rooted in the territory. Franciacorta, with its glacial soils, gentle hills and breezes from Lake Iseo, provides an ideal environment for varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco. But beyond the grapes, it is the interpretation of the terroir that makes the difference: each parcel is vinified separately, respecting its unique character, and blended only when the desired harmony is achieved.
Maurizio Zanella was a pioneer in understanding that Franciacorta could - and should - look ahead of the great sparkling wine regions of the world. And he was not wrong.
Bubbles with soul
Among the top-of-the-range sparkling wines is the cuvée Annamaria Clementi, a tribute to his mother and the highest expression of the house. Only in exceptional vintages, with extended ageing on lees and crystalline purity, this cuvée represents the pinnacle of the classic Italian method. No concessions, no rush: just time, precision and terroir.
But even its most accessible labels retain the winery's unmistakable hallmark: elegance, freshness and structure. Each wine bears the signature of a clear, coherent and recognisable style.
Why Ca' del Bosco matters
Ca' del Bosco is not just a successful winery. It is a symbol of transformation. Of how a bold vision can change the destiny of a region. Of how respect for the land, combined with a technical obsession and an artistic sensibility, can give rise to wines that excite.
Whoever opens a bottle of Ca' del Bosco does not only drink wine. He drinks history, territory, art and a very Italian way of understanding excellence
