The 2006 Franciacorta Cuvée Annamaria Clementi Brut Riserva is a landmark wine that is only made in the best vintages. The blend consists of Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Nero and the various characteristics of each variety come together with spectacular precision. This is a seamless effort with apricot, exotic fruit, freshly baked baguette and warm, yeasty notes with crushed mineral and menthol herb on the close. The richness of the wine's texture is what really stands out. This is a creamy and enduring effort that wraps thickly over the palate with soft mousse and foamy effervescence. The blend is 55% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Nero and 25% Pinot Bianco.
Producer
Ca' del Bosco
Ca’ del Bosco is at the forefront of a sensational group of new-wave Italian wine producers. Known for their groundbreaking Franciacortas, this estate has built a worldwide reputation as the region’s most famous producer in a matter of years. Situated along the gentle slopes of Brescia, Ca’ del Bosco consists of 93 hectares of vineyards lying due south of Lake Iseo in Lombardy. Founded in 1964 by the late Annamaria Clementi, the estate is now managed by her energetic son, Maurizio Zanella. His forward-thinking and undeniable talents have put Franciacorta on the map of top Italian wines. Following his mother’s example, the house’s commitment to excellence is shown by their consistent production - each bottle meets their founding high-quality prerequisites. Vinification occurs in the recently built state-of-the-art cellar, complete with gravity-fed tanks, as well as modern bottling and zero-oxygen disgorging lines. The sparkling wines are made following the traditional Metodo Franciacorta, with a minimum maturation of two-years in bottle ensuring the Franciacorta DOCG label. Unquestionably, the name Ca’ del Bosco is synonymous with Franciacorta, the wines are quintessentially aromatic and balanced, noted by their varietal character and ageing capacity.
