Franciacorta Riserva of extraordinary evolution signed by Ca’ del Bosco

Annamaria Clementi R.S. 1980 is an iconic cuvée from Ca’ del Bosco, designed to tell the deepest and most visionary side of Franciacorta Riserva. It comes from a long-awaited project, with aging that exceeds 40 years and with disgorgement on request, in Dosage Zéro. It is a wine that combines enological precision, historical memory, and a territorial expression of great character, destined for those seeking a rare, complex, and authoritative Italian sparkling wine.

Territory and wine style

This Franciacorta comes from a selection of grapes harvested from the historic vineyards of Canelle, in the surroundings of the winery. Its origin is linked to a pioneering approach by Ca’ del Bosco, which has helped define a modern and rigorous style for the denomination. The 1980 vintage has given rise to an extraordinary base, capable of sustaining a very long aging in the cellar and arriving today at a mature, deep profile that is perfectly consistent with the identity of the territory.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a deep straw yellow color, enhanced by golden reflections. The bouquet is broad and complex, with hints of underbrush, moss, and fern, followed by candied citrus, quince jam, toasted hazelnut, and caramel. With oxygenation, iodized nuances, beeswax, and cedar wood emerge. On the palate, it is intense, creamy, and full, with a solid structure and a long, aromatic, and very persistent finish. The complete absence of dosage enhances the purity of the evolution and the personality of the wine.

Recommended pairings

The structure and complexity of Annamaria Clementi R.S. 1980 make it suitable for refined and intensely flavored dishes. It pairs well with important shellfish, noble fish baked, mushroom-based dishes, preparations with white truffle, elaborate white meats, and not overly salty aged cheeses. It can also accompany an entire tasting menu, especially when one wants to enhance a vintage sparkling wine with an evolved and gastronomic profile.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate Annamaria Clementi R.S. 1980, the ideal temperature is between 10 and 12°C. Careful service, in wide glasses for evolved sparkling wines, helps to capture its aromatic richness. Due to the great maturity of the wine, it is preferable to avoid temperatures that are too low, which would compress its expressiveness.
