Franciacorta Riserva Vintage Collection Noir Dosage Zéro 2016, Ca' del Bosco
A classic, monumental method in terms of rigor and depth. The olfactory profile alternates between small ripe red fruits and tertiary and mineral notes of extreme refinement. On the palate it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the power of Pinot Noir and the complete absence of dosage. A demonstration of style that celebrates the purity and verticality of the Erbusco terroir.
Franciacorta Riserva Vintage Collection Noir Dosage Zéro 2016, Ca' del Bosco
The Franciacorta Riserva "Vintage Collection Noir" Dosage Zéro 2016 from Ca' del Bosco is a celebration of the power and elegance of pure Pinot Noir, grown in three historic vineyards of the Maison. This wine represents the deepest and most disciplined soul of Erbusco, elevated by an exceptionally long aging process that transforms the grape's strength into an almost mystical complexity. The 2016 vintage, masterful in climatic balance, has imparted this Riserva with millimetric precision. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: precise notes of blackcurrant, bitter orange peel, and hibiscus flowers merge with deep aromas of toasted bread, incense, gunpowder, and a mineral streak reminiscent of graphite. On the palate, it is sumptuous and three-dimensional; the entry is broad, dominated by a dense and savory texture that extends into a vertical, very long finish with an endless aromatic persistence, characterized by a saline rigor and aristocratic freshness.
