FRANCIACORTA ROSE' "ANNAMARIA CLEMENTI" CA DEL BOSCO 2010

Harmony. A sound that is whispered, a tone that is hinted at, a perfume that is perceived. Perfection is combined with the delicacy of balanced nuances in a Franciacorta rosé, made only from Pinot Noir grapes, the result of the art of knowing how to recognize that ephemeral moment in which to separate the must from the grapes in maceration. A moment to be seized to obtain the particular intense pink color and seven years of patient refinement for an aromatic perfume of extreme finesse. A supreme gustatory balance, a unique shade of pink, a very fine perlage, Cuvée Annamaria Clementi Rosé is a rare example of harmony and excellence, dedicated to the founder of Ca 'del Bosco.

Cuvée Annamaria Clementi Rosé is the maximum expression of pure Pinot Noir vinified in pink, in the Ca 'del Bosco style. The grapes, in compliance with our vinification method, are harvested by hand in small boxes, are promptly coded and cooled in cold rooms. Each bunch is selected by expert eyes and hands, to then benefit from our exclusive "spa of the bunch". A particular system of washing and hydromassage of the bunches, through three soaking tanks and a system for complete drying. For de-stemming, the bunches are transferred over the vat and then fall into it by gravity. This eliminates the traditional pumping systems, which are the cause of the breakage of the skins and unwanted herbaceous notes. Following a short maceration of the grapes at a temperature of 14 ° C to obtain that particular intense pink color and that aromatic profile of extreme finesse and harmony that will characterize the Cuvée Annamaria Clementi Rosé in the bottle. All the vinification phases of the different base wines take place in small oak barrels obtained from selected woods and aged for at least 3 years and stored in deep and cool underground cellars. Alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation and barrel aging last a total of 8 months.

The Cuvée Annamaria Clementi Rosé was born from the art of knowing how to assemble base wines from the 3 historic vineyards by selecting only the wine from the best barrels. It is tapped by gravity and a pair of flying tanks transfers it by gravity, from the barrels to the assembly tank. It takes at least 8 more years of aging on the lees to achieve that olfactory harmony and excellent gustatory balance that make Cuvée Annamaria Clementi Rosé a supreme Franciacorta. The dégorgement takes place in the absence of oxygen, using a unique system in the world, designed and patented by Ca 'del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shocks and further additions of sulphites and makes our Franciacortas purer, more pleasant and longer-lived. Finally, each packaged bottle is uniquely marked, to guarantee its traceability.
