About the producer

Ca Del Bosco is one of Lombardy's leading sparkling wine producers, known for bringing traditional bottle fermentation methods to the region since the 1970s.

About the year

Extra Brut means very little residual sugar, so the wine tastes bone dry. This style shows the true character of the grapes and the winemaking craft.

Grape characteristics

A blend of Chardonnay for elegance and complexity, Pinot Noir for depth, and Pinot Blanc for freshness. These grapes thrive in Lombardy's cool climate and produce wines with good acidity and fine bubbles.

About the region

Lombardy in northern Italy has cool nights and warm days that allow grapes to ripen slowly, building acidity and flavour. The region is known for high-quality sparkling wines made in the traditional method.

Tasting profile

Expect crisp citrus and green apple on the nose, with a dry, mineral palate. The bubbles are fine and elegant, and the finish is clean and refreshing.

Serving suggestions

Serve well chilled at around 6 to 8 degrees Celsius. Use a flute or tulip glass to preserve the bubbles and direct the aromas to your nose.
