With Edizione 48, Ca' del Bosco builds its Franciacorta Rosé around the meeting of 64% Pinot Noir and 36% Chardonnay, sourced from 19 certified organic vineyards and entirely from wines of the 2023 harvest. It is a technically precise multivintage rosé whose colour and structure are shaped above all by the treatment of Pinot Noir.

Colour created by a brief maceration

Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are vinified separately. The Pinot Noir undergoes a short 24-36 hour rosé maceration, after which the must ferments in small barrels and temperature-controlled stainless steel; the Chardonnay is whole-bunch pressed and vinified separately. After seven months the wines are blended to create the cuvée.

24 months on the lees and Extra Brut dosage

After tirage, the cuvée matures for an average of 24 months on the lees in the estate's underground cellars. Disgorgement takes place without oxygen using Ca' del Bosco's patented system; dosage is just 0.5 g/l and alcohol is 12.5%.

Profile and recognition

The profile combines red and citrus fruit, tension and persistent bubbles, with more complex toasted nuances and a light tannic note on the finish. Falstaff awarded Edizione 48 93/100 in its 2026 tasting.
