Description

The Franciacorta Brut DOCG – MAGNUM – Encased by Bosio represents one of the most elegant and refined expressions of Lombard viticulture, specifically from the Franciacorta area. This sparkling wine is produced using the classical method, which involves a second fermentation in the bottle, and primarily uses Chardonnay grapes, with potential contributions from Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco.

The 1.5-liter MAGNUM packaging further enhances the wine’s maturation, ensuring a better evolution of its aromas and organoleptic characteristics. It is presented in an elegant case that makes it ideal for special occasions or as a sophisticated gift.

Visually, the Franciacorta Brut by Bosio showcases a bright straw-yellow color with fine, persistent bubbles. On the nose, it offers a delicate and complex bouquet, interweaving notes of fresh fruit such as apple and peach, along with elements of yeast and bread-making due to the long stay on the yeasts.

On the palate, it is distinguished by its freshness and extraordinary harmony. Its acidity is well balanced by the creaminess of the bubbles and a slight bitter almond note in the finish, a typical trait of the best Franciacorta.

The Franciacorta Brut DOCG by Bosio is perfect as an aperitif, beautifully opening a dinner. It pairs splendidly with light appetizers, fish-based dishes, and sushi, making it extremely versatile and appreciated by a wide range of palates.

This wine not only represents Italian wine excellence but is also a symbol of festivity and celebration, to be enjoyed in special moments.

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.
