Intense ruby red
Rich and complex
Harmonious and enveloping
The Maurizio Zanella 2021 by Cà del Bosco is one of the iconic red wines of Franciacorta, a wine that transcends its geographical boundaries to reinterpret the classic Bordeaux-style blend with a modern Italian approach. It is a red wine of strong identity, dedicated to the winery’s founder, combining power, elegance, and extraordinary stylistic precision. It is crafted from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, sourced from carefully selected vineyards. Winemaking is meticulous and highly precise: the grapes are hand-harvested, vinified separately, and then aged in oak barrels to develop complexity, structure, and aromatic depth before the final blending. In the glass, it shows an intense, deep, and impenetrable dark ruby red color. The bouquet is rich and layered, with notes of ripe wild berries, blackcurrant, plum, and sour cherry, followed by spicy and balsamic nuances, hints of aromatic herbs, black pepper, sweet tobacco, and subtle toasted oak tones. On the palate, it is structured, harmonious, and enveloping, with well-integrated tannins and an elegant texture that supports a rich yet always balanced sip. Freshness adds dynamism, leading to a long, persistent, and gently spicy finish. Perfect with rich red meats, braised dishes, game, grilled fillet, and aged cheeses, it is a wine designed for fine dining and special occasions. A contemporary, characterful red, highly suited to very long ageing.
