List of products by brand Ca' del Bosco

First created in 1979, the year of Ca' del Bosco's first vintage, and named Franciacorta Millesimato. Made mainly from Chardonnay grapes to which Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir are added. In 1989 it was named Cuvée Annamaria Clementi Riserva,

in honor of the founder and mother of Maurizio Zanella. With the 2008 vintage, the name is consolidated into Annamaria Clementi and becomes Dosage Zéro, to enhance its purity and integrity.

Ideas, insights and visionary projects have marked our history from the first vintages to the present. Each stage is a memory to evoke.

The story begins when Annamaria Clementi Zanella, Maurizio's mother, bought "Ca' del Bosc," a small house in the hills of Erbusco, two hectares of property surrounded by a dense forest of oak and chestnut trees. It has always been her son Maurizio's source of inspiration. He passed away in 2014.

 Antonio Gandossi is the factor of Ca' del Bosco, personally planting the first vineyards including high-density vineyards (10,000 vines per hectare), at the time not found in Italy. He will take care of the winery's vineyards until 2011, the year of his passing.

 The first wine is born: Pinot di Franciacorta Bianco.

 The first Rosso di Franciacorta is produced.

 The Pinéro and Chardonnay are born.

 It is the exciting year of the first harvest in which the first three sparkling wines are produced: Pinot di Franciacorta Brut, Pinot di Franciacorta Dosage Zéro and Pinot di Franciacorta Rosé, which will be released in December 1978.

 Crémant sparkling wine is produced, which will be released in 1980.

 The very young Maurizio Zanella involves chef de cave André Dubois in his project: with his valuable collaboration, the first Franciacorta Pinot Millesimato will be born. He will be the qualitative imprint of all Ca' del Bosco wines. He disappears in 1990.

 The Pinot Noir Brut and the Maurizio Zanella are born.

The underground dome from which the vaults destined for Franciacorta and wines branch out, 17m below ground.

 Franciacorta Millesimato is dedicated to Maurizio Zanella's mother, founder of Ca' del Bosco, and becomes Cuvée Annamaria Clementi.

 Crémant becomes millesimato and changes its name to Satèn. Merlot is born.

 Brut and Dosage Zéro become vintage.

 Ca' del Bosco becomes part of the Marzotto family's Santa Margherita Group, maintaining both the co-partnership of Maurizio Zanella (current company president) and its own identity and autonomy.

 Unique crushing and winemaking technologies are introduced with the expansion of the winery.

 Carmenero is born.

 Ca' del Bosco, its vineyards, its wine, are the protagonists of an exhibition at the Triennale entitled "11 photographers 1 wine." Later Skira is entrusted with the publication of the book of the same name.

 The Cuvée Prestige, a new modern edition of Brut s.a. that puts thirty years of Ca' del Bosco experience to good use, is launched. The first bottles are marketed starting in early November. With the 2007 vintage, Terre di Franciacorta Bianco and Terre di Franciacorta Rosso take the name Curtefranca Bianco and Curtefranca Rosso.

Thanks to the efforts invested in the Carmenero wine project, with the 2008 vintage the Carménère grape is recognized and Carmenero obtains the IGT Rosso del Sebino designation.

 The Cuvée Annamaria Clementi Rosé is launched, with the first 2003 vintage.

 The Vintage Collection is born: the Franciacorta Millesimati line, vintage 2008, a revelation of the Ca' del Bosco method. An exclusive method that combines innovation, naturalness and quality aspiring to the creation of the noble wine that enhances grape variety and terroir.

 On October 14 the Vintage Collection Dosage Zéro Noir is presented, with the 2005 vintage, the fourth in the line of millesimati, a Franciacorta ennobled by the "Riserva" classification.

 On November 9, the restyling of the Annamaria Clementi, which becomes dosage zéro, is presented.

 In early September, the two wines Corte del Lupo Bianco and Corte del Lupo Rosso, reinterpretations of classic Curtefranca, are presented.

 Ca' del Bosco presents Cuvée Prestige Edition 42, the 42nd interpretation of the multivintage to be followed each year by a new Edition in ascending numerical order.

Using (...and cultivating) without consuming

Ca 'del Bosco means listening to Nature, giving its forms the chance to express themselves through the help of man who becomes the guardian of an extraordinary territory by cultivating it, but never consuming it.

With the Ca' del Bosco Method, the wine finds its true identity thanks to the choice to always and only invest in the territory of origin, protecting it through organic viticulture.

Thus Nature decides: Ca' del Bosco has only to help her since wine is in the vines just as David is in the marble block. Nature is power and wine is its act: Maurizio Zanella and his family have been the custodians of the transition from power to act.

Balance between tradition and innovation

Ca' del Bosco means to innovate, to find the best way to give the forms of Nature - the vines - the forms of Culture - the wine. To listen to the reality and complexity of Nature, we invest in innovation, research and technology so that they integrate human knowledge with the potential of the earth. Washing grapes or eliminating oxygen through new patents represents the exact opposite of an encroachment of technology on rural reality: it means eliminating everything superfluous or artificial that would risk missing the aesthetic power of the land.

Technological innovation is just the way to call tomorrow's tradition.

Ca' del Bosco is the courage to say that if today it is possible to have respect for a tradition, it is only because someone in the past had the courage to innovate.
