Located in Erbusco, in the province of Lombardy, Ca'del Bosco is widely recognized as one of Italy's greatest wine estates. In 1968, Ca'del Bosco was founded on two hundred and thirty acres, and planted with chardonnay, pinot blanc and pinot noir, the traditional varietals of Franciacorta. After years of significant investment, technological improvements and the usual experience brought about by trial and error, Ca'del Bosco has won a reputation as one of the world's most prominent producers of not only fine sparkling wines, but also still wines. In 1998, Gambero Rosso, the leading authority on Italian wines, began referring to the estate as one of the few Stars in Italy, having won so many coveted Three Glasses awards. In 2002, the winery was named Winery of the Year byt the same publication. This 100% Pinot Nero is the bane and delight of some of the greatest winegrowers in the world. It is a difficult vine. It is a site specific grape, so it is only successful in a few areas of the world and, even then, not every year. Ca' del Bosco took up the challenge in 1983. In many blind tastings, carried out by great international experts, it has outclassed the big names from Burgundy. Pinero is elegance personified. The richness is striking and the range of varietal aromas and the citrus and jam notes highlight the sensations coming from the aging in barriques. This Pinot Noir is very particular, able to show strength and finesse. It shows originality, with well-combined richness, finesse and smoothness, matched with rare elegance. Extremely smooth to the taste, it leaves a lingering ripe fruit impression. (6 x 75 cl)
