Descrizione

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.

Winery history

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 recognitions

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.
