2015 Anna Maria Clementi Ca' del Bosco

Tasting notes:

A rich and expressive Franciacorta bursting with baked pear, brown butter and candied lemon peel. Creamy, full-bodied and beautifully fresh, it layers ripe fruit with subtle florals and savory herbs. Vibrant acidity keeps everything lifted and elegant. A luxurious, memorable sparkling wine. Drink now–2045.

Producer description:

Ca’ del Bosco, meaning the “house in the wood”, was founded by Annamaria Clementi in the late 1960s. The winery quickly became a leading producer in Franciacorta, when second generation Maurizio Zanella, who was also the president of the DOC’s Consorzio, took over the estate. They are now best known for their benchmark sparkling wines but, they take pride in the production of their still wines, a stellar Chardonnay and a brace of reds made with Bordeaux varietals.
