Ca del Bosco, Franciacorta Dosage Zero Noir 2006

Ca’ del Bosco Franciacorta Dosage Zero Noir 2006 is a striking all-Pinot Noir sparkling wine that showcases the house’s precision, purity, and uncompromising focus on terroir. With no added dosage, it delivers a particularly dry, focused style that highlights the finesse of the vintage and the depth earned through extended bottle aging. Produced in Franciacorta, one of Italy’s most prestigious sparkling wine regions, it reflects both modern craftsmanship and the region’s long pursuit of world-class méthode traditionnelle wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a refined, persistent mousse and a luminous, straw-gold hue with subtle coppery reflections. The nose is layered and expressive, opening with dried flowers, red apple, citrus peel, toasted almonds, brioche, and a delicate spicy nuance. On the palate, it is structured and elegant, with creamy texture, vibrant acidity, precise mineral tension, and a long, dry finish that feels both powerful and restrained. The 2006 vintage has developed added complexity through seven years on the lees, giving the wine real depth and a nuanced, mature character. It can be enjoyed now for its balance and detail, though it will continue to hold well for a few more years under proper cellaring conditions.

Production
The grapes come from carefully selected parcels in Franciacorta with chalky, clay-rich soils that contribute both richness and freshness. Fruit is harvested by hand, then gently pressed before undergoing fermentation in small oak barrels, a method that adds texture and complexity without overwhelming the Pinot Noir character. The wine is then aged for seven years on the lees in bottle, allowing it to develop its fine mousse, layered aromatics, and refined structure.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent wine for the table, especially with oysters, scallops, grilled prawns, white fish, lobster, or poultry with delicate sauces. It also pairs beautifully with mature hard cheeses and refined vegetable dishes. Serve chilled at 8–10 °C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though opening it a few minutes before pouring can help the aromas unfold.

Producer
