Ca' del Bosco

I had previously blogged about their wines, now is the time for an account of this winery. This now famous producer of sparkling wines could be traced back to the mid-1960s when the Zanella family first planted vineyards but the enterprise really took off towards the end of the next decade with Maurizio (who studied oenology in Burgundy)  devoting much time and energy into sparkling wine production and even employing a French chef de cave at the end of the 1970s. By the 1980s, Ca' del Bosco made still wines again (something that they started with in the early 1970s) and produced an number of notable wines. Now the company has both vintage and NV sparkling wines as well as still wines in its portfolio.
