What wine is Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero Riserva DOCG “Annamaria Clementi” Magnum 2016 - Ca' del Bosco
The Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero Riserva DOCG “Annamaria Clementi” Magnum 2016 - Ca' del Bosco represents the highest expression of Italian sparkling wine art according to the Classic method, the same method used to produce Champagne. This wine is crafted in the heart of Franciacorta, among the morainic hills south of Lake Iseo, a territory rich in minerals and perfect for creating bubbles of great elegance. It is a Dosaggio Zero, meaning no sugar is added in the final production stage, a condition that enhances the wine's purity and personality.Vintage details
The 2016 vintage in Franciacorta was balanced, with ideal climatic conditions that allowed for a slow and complete ripening of the Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, and Pinot Nero grapes. The temperature fluctuations between day and night favored the development of fine aromas and a perfect integration of acidity and fruit richness. The result is a harmonious, lively wine with great potential.Winemaking and aging
The winemaking of Annamaria Clementi follows the rigor and philosophy of purity that distinguishes Ca’ del Bosco. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected, then fermented separately in small oak barrels. After the secondary fermentation, the wine ages on its lees for over 8 years, acquiring complexity and structure. Disgorgement, the removal of the lees at the end of aging, occurs in the absence of oxygen thanks to a patented system by the winery. This exclusive process preserves freshness and aromatic integrity, yielding a pure Franciacorta of extraordinary longevity.Tasting notes

How to best open and serve Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero Riserva DOCG “Annamaria Clementi” Magnum 2016 - Ca' del Bosco
1. Bottle Positioning
Before opening Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero Riserva DOCG “Annamaria Clementi” Magnum 2016 - Ca' del Bosco, it is important that the bottle is positioned correctly. If it has been stored horizontally, place it upright for at least 24 hours before serving. This will allow any sediment to settle at the bottom, ensuring a clear, impurity-free wine.
2. Ideal Serving Temperature
Temperature significantly influences the aromatic and taste perception of this prestigious Franciacorta. It is recommended to serve it between 8°C and 10°C. To achieve this temperature, place the bottle in an ice bucket with water for about 15-20 minutes or leave it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
3. Opening the Bottle
Handle the bottle gently. Remove the foil and check that the cork is in good condition. Hold the bottle firmly with one hand and slowly twist the cork, keeping your thumb on top to control the release of natural gas. The goal is to hear a sigh when opening, not a pop: this will preserve the delicate bubbles of Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero Riserva DOCG “Annamaria Clementi” Magnum 2016 - Ca' del Bosco.
4. Inspection and First Taste
After opening, pour a small amount of wine into the glass for a quick visual and olfactory inspection. The color should be brilliant, and the perlage fine and persistent. Smell to check for aromatic cleanliness: you should perceive complex notes of yeast, dried fruit, and ripe citrus. A brief taste will allow you to assess its liveliness and confirm that the wine is in perfect condition.
5. Decantation and Oxygenation
Although Franciacortas are rarely decanted, a zero-dosage reserve of this importance can benefit from brief oxygenation. Pour the wine into a wide carafe and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This step helps to open up the aromatic profile and soften the taste sensation, enhancing the complexity of Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero Riserva DOCG “Annamaria Clementi” Magnum 2016 - Ca' del Bosco.
6. Serving
Use large, tulip-shaped glasses that allow the wine to best express its elegant aromas. Fill them one-third full and serve slowly, avoiding abrupt movements. To enhance the sensory experience:
- optimize the serving sequence, starting with younger wines and then moving on to this reserve Franciacorta;
- always keep the bottle in an ice bucket to maintain the ideal temperature;
- gently swirl the glass before each sip to reactivate the aromas.
7. Storage After Opening
If not entirely consumed, seal the bottle with a specific airtight stopper for sparkling wines. Store it in the refrigerator at approximately 6°C. Under these conditions, Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero Riserva DOCG “Annamaria Clementi” Magnum 2016 - Ca' del Bosco will maintain its freshness and finesse for 24-48 hours. Avoid storing it for longer to prevent losing the liveliness of its bubbles and the aromatic purity that makes it unique.
