Advice to enjoy this wine at its best.

Let’s talk about Franciacorta Brut DOCG - Bosio

More questions

The Franciacorta Brut DOCG from the Bosio winery, coming from the homonymous region of Franciacorta in Lombardy and known for its refinement and elegance, stands out for its perfect balance between acidity and freshness.

Produced mainly from Chardonnay grapes, with the addition of Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc, the cuvée matures for at least 18 months on the lees in the bottle. This process gives Bosio's Franciacorta Brut a remarkable complexity, with aromas ranging from white-fleshed fruits, such as pear and apple, to hints of yeast and toasted bread, enriched by delicate floral notes. 

Visually, Franciacorta presents a bright straw yellow color with greenish reflections. The bubbles are fine and persistent, creating an elegant and inviting mousse. On the palate, the wine is lively and well-structured; it starts with an intrinsic freshness that evolves into a long and harmonious finish, leaving room for a slight minerality that cleanses the palate.

Ideal as an aperitif, the Bosio Franciacorta Brut DOCG pairs wonderfully with light appetizers, seafood, and fish dishes. It is also a perfect choice for celebrating special occasions, adding a touch of class and sophistication to any event.

The winery

Azienda Agricola Bovio Gianfranco

Piemonte (Langhe, La Morra / Castiglione Falletto)ItaliaSince 1976

Family-run winery in La Morra (Piedmont) producing Barolo and other typical wines of the Langhe, showcasing the estate’s individual crus through parcel-by-parcel vinification and traditional methods.
Grape varieties
Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Chardonnay
  • Family-owned winery operating for multiple generations.
  • Vineyards distributed across the historic crus of La Morra and Castiglione Falletto.
  • Portfolio featuring various Barolo labels as well as Nebbiolo Langhe, Barbera and Dolcetto.
  • Emphasis on parcel-based vinification and traditional methods.
  • Renovated tasting room and wine shop open to the public.
The story
The Bovio family has been in La Morra for generations. In the 1950s and 1960s Alessandro Bovio farmed grapes on a small scale. In the 1970s Gianfranco renovated the winery, and in the following years the estate began selling Nebbiolo and Barolo. Since then the estate has expanded and modernized the winery, and management has gradually passed to the next generations.
Production philosophy
The winemaking approach is founded on respect for tradition and the land: each vineyard is vinified separately to express the characteristics of the individual cru, with artisanal care in the vineyard and cellar and aging in large casks where appropriate. Attention is focused on patience, precise management of the parcels and fidelity to the character of the Langhe.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards located in La Morra and partly in Castiglione Falletto, with estate crus designated as Annunziata, Rocchettevino, Parussi, Gattera and Arborina. The estate reports approximately ten hectares of vineyards distributed across the principal MGAs of the Langhe, with vinifications carried out separately by parcel.
Awards and recognition
Bovio's wines have received high ratings from international critics: in particular, their Barolo expressions have earned high scores from James Suckling, Robert Parker and Wine Spectator across several vintages.
