Great white wine - crispy, some floral notes. Pairs great with food. I hope I find it imported here in the states sometime. 2022 vintage brought in Manarola. — a year ago
Black fruit dress, deep. Open nose of plum, Blackberries, and melted breeding of oak barrel. In the mouth, it is supple and deep, smoked, with evolved notes of undergrowth, mushrooms. A classical style wine, structured and melted. Very nice realization. Even if already in place, it can age and gain in relief.
Robe fruits noirs, profonde. Nez ouvert de prune, mûre, et élevage fondu, fût de chêne. En bouche, c’est souple et profond, fumé, avec des notes évoluées, sous-bois, champignons. Un vin au style classique, structuré et fondu. Très belle réalisation. Peut vieillir et encore gagner en relief. — 2 years ago
Since it is Friday Pizza Night, I thought we would relive our visit (5/15) & retry Ca’ del Bosco. I needed to see if it held up to our memory of tasting there. As well as, our visit there was prior to my heavy fixation on Champagne. And, it still does not disappoint.
The nose reveals; lemon extract, lime zest, ripe pineapple, white peach, touch of apricots and ripe tropical melons, slivered almonds, caramel notes, vanilla, honey notes, candle wax, delicate, grey, volcanic minerals, soft, chalkiness with yellow lilies set in a field of spring flowers.
The mouthfeel is heavy, rich, crisp and waxy. Softer, more delicate micro bubbles. Waxy/oily & a touch sour lemons, lime zest, ripe pineapple, white peach, touch of apricots and ripe tropical melons, slivered almonds, caramel notes, vanilla, honey notes, candle wax, delicate, very light white spice, grey, volcanic minerals, soft, chalkiness with yellow lilies & fruit blossoms set in a field of spring flowers. The acidity is round, phat and lively. The rich, lush, well balanced finish is delicious and persists nicely for minutes.
Photos of; Ca’ de Bosco entrance, their red velvet tasting salon, caves, and the bridge over their man made lake you walk from the parking lot to get to the property.
This was not available locally & had to ship it from the East coast to relive our memories.
While this states it is in Lombardy, the region is called Franciacorta. It is Italy’s Sparkling Wine region or its Champagne equivalent. There are two beautiful lakes near by, Iseo (which is where we stayed) as it’s closer to Franciacorta and less touristy than the more visited Lake Garda. Lake Garda is huge and extremely crowded during high season. — 5 years ago

Very light — 4 years ago
Inky in color with a short reddish rim. Not showing age at all.
Pretty nose with nice complexity.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and complex.
Showing red and black fruits with tobacco, earth, chocolates, spices, coffee, peppercorn and graphite.
Medium finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This interesting red Italian is drinking very nicely now. Very unique and shows like it was aged in oak, but it wasn't.
This 8 year old is still showing very fresh. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 to 5 years and see how it evolved.
100% Piedirosso grepes were aged for 12 months in amphora vats and 12 months in steel. A tiny production of only 1,000 bottles.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
