Appellation<br />Franciacorta Riserva.<br /><br />Grape varieties<br />Chardonnay 65%, Pinot Blanc 20%, Pinot Noir 15%.<br /><br />Vineyards of origin<br />10 Chardonnay vineyards, with an average age of 32 years, located in the communes of Erbusco, Adro, Corte Franca, Iseo and Passirano.<br />2 Pinot Bianco vines, with an average age of 27 years, located in the commune of Passirano.<br />3 Pinot Nero vines, with an average age of 33 years, located in the municipalities of Erbusco, Iseo and Passirano.<br /><br /><br />Average yield per hectare<br />7,700 kilograms of grapes, equivalent to 3,000 litres of wine obtained from only<br />must only (wine yield: 39%).<br /><br />Vinification<br />Annamaria Clementi is the fruit of the quest for excellence, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. In accordance with the Ca' del Bosco method, the grapes, harvested by<br />hand in small crates, are promptly codified and cooled in cold rooms.<br />Each bunch is selected by expert eyes and hands, and then benefits from our exclusive 'bunch spa'. A special system of washing and hydromassage of the bunches,<br />using three soaking tubs and a system for complete drying. The base wines are obtained exclusively from first-pressing musts. Alcoholic fermentation takes place<br />exclusively in small oak barrels made from selected woods and matured for at least 3 years. Here it remains on its lees for a further 6 months, also carrying out malolactic<br />fermentation. No compromises, no concessions: only the wine from the best barrels, from the 15 base wines of origin, is tapped to give rise to Annamaria Clementi. A pair of<br />flying tanks transfers it by gravity from the barrels to the blending tank. A very long refinement in contact with the yeasts, lasting more than 8 years, determines its unique<br />profile. An absolute Franciacorta. The dégorgement takes place in the absence of oxygen, using a unique system designed and patented by Ca' del Bosco. This avoids<br />oxidative shocks and further additions of sulphites. It makes our Franciacorta wines purer, more pleasant and longer-lived. Lastly, each packaged bottle is uniquely marked<br />to ensure traceability.<br />
