"A benchmark Franciacorta estate where winemaking ambition is matched by bold artistic and design sensibility, from a full-size rhinoceros sculpture in the barrel room to a newly opened hospitality center that stages multisensory experiences. Highlights include a vintage tunnel linking historic cellars to a vinoteca, a quartet of changing sensory chambers, and a glowing “Prestige Immersion” room made from thousands of backlit bottles that evokes the magic of sparkling wine. Of course, tastings of signature cuvées — including the Cuvée Prestige and the top Annamaria Clemente — remain central to the visit, marrying visually arresting environments with serious sparkling-wine craftsmanship." - Federico De Cesare Viola
"A pioneering winery in Franciacorta known for its Cuvèè Prestige Brut and other wines, featuring an interactive model of its production areas." - Matteo Morichini
"The 50-year-old history of Cà del Bosco – one of the area’s best known and most respected wineries – has combined soil conservation and preservation of traditions alongside a series of technological innovations: “Our company was one of the first to use machinery to wash and dry grapes”, says Maurizio Zanella, founder and chairman of Cà del Bosco. “At the time, many people laughed at us and some even considered the practice to be blasphemous – following the adulteration scandals of the 1970s, water was considered to be the devil by many wine-producers. In fact, our berry spa (as we call it) is a highly beneficial process because it detaches the grapes and purifies them naturally. Our washing technique is similar to that used by the fruit and vegetable sector and although there are only five wineries in the world that use this method today, I believe that within the next 50 years it will become standard procedure for anyone involved in wine production”." - Matteo Morichini
"Ca' del Bosco winery is known for its collection of sculptures, including works by Arnaldo Pomodoro and others." - Matteo Morichini
"Cà del Bosco winery, run by the Zanella family, is a must-visit along the Franciacorta wine route. It was the first winery to introduce traditional production methods to the region and offers wines like Cuvèè Prestige Brut and Chardonnay Doc." - Matteo Morichini
