Vintage Collection Extra Brut 2018<br />Denomination: Franciacorta Millesimato.<br />Grape varieties: Chardonnay 65%, Pinot Nero 29%, Pinot Bianco 6%.<br />Original vineyards: 17 Chardonnay vines, with an average age of 28 years, located in the municipalities of Erbusco, Adro, Cazzago San Martino, Corte Franca and<br />Passirano. 7 Pinot Nero vines, with an average age of 29 years, located in the municipalities of Erbusco and Passirano. 2 Pinot Bianco vines, with an average age of 29<br />years, located in the municipality of Passirano.<br />Harvest: 2018. Very cold winter: February with snow and minimum temperatures as low as -7°C. With the onset of spring, the weather remained cold and damp and the<br />vines began budding about ten days later than usual. From mid-April, an abnormal rise in temperatures to 29°C favoured abundant flower fertilisation. With the arrival of May,<br />however, the rain returned. It was only from 15 July that the real summer was seen, which continued until 25 August with temperatures up to above average, with almost<br />torrid heat in August. The much-desired summer rain arrived in the third ten days of August and met the water requirements of the vines. The harvest that began on 13<br />August gave us a vintage characterised by a very generous nature, well managed by thinning, with beautiful, healthy and perfectly ripened grapes.<br />Average yield per hectare: 8,300 kilograms of grapes, equivalent to 3,570 litres of wine (wine yield: 43%).<br />Vinification: Franciacorta Vintage Collection wines are the fruit of careful grape selection and skilful vinification conducted in full respect of the Ca' del Bosco Method. The<br />grapes, freshly hand-picked into small crates, are graded and cooled. Each bunch of grapes is selected by expert eyes and hands, to then benefit from exclusive 'grape<br />spas'. A special system washes and whirlpools the bunches, using three soaking tubs and a drying tunnel. After crushing in the absence of oxygen, all the musts of the<br />base wines ferment in small oak barrels. In order to seek maximum aromatic complexity and expressive power, without losing elegance, the barrel elevage lasts only 5<br />months. A pair of flying tanks allows the wine to be transferred by gravity from the small barrels to the ageing tanks. After 7 months from the harvest, the cuvée is created.<br />The 2018 Vintage Collection Extra Brut is the result of a skilful blend of 26 base wines of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir that give the finished product a particular<br />profile, rich and complex. The higher proportion of Pinot Noir gives it power and nobility, further reinforced by a long bottle ageing. The dégorgement takes place in the<br />absence of oxygen, using a unique system invented and patented by Ca' del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shocks and further additions of sulphites, making our Franciacorta<br />wines purer, more pleasant and longer-lived.

Chianti class. 2021...
At Castellare, Chianti Classico is produced using only two indigenous grape varieties: Sangioveto, the prince of Tuscan vines, which makes up 90% of the blend, and the<br />remaining 10% of Canaiolo, another typical variety of the area. The true Chianti Classico, therefore, without the addition of international vines such as Cabernet or Merlot, in<br />order to maintain the authentic formula of the most famous of Italian wines while seeking maximum elegance.<br /><br />Tasting notes: the colour of this Chianti Classico is the ruby red of Sangioveto.
