The base wines, after fist fermentation, mature for 8 months in

stainless steel vats that are temperature controlled, until the

preparation of the cuvée. The cuvée Ca'del Bosco is the result of a

knowledgeable blend of base wines kept in stainless steel vats

and small oak barrels: a particular advancement bestows to the

finished product a spicy personality, reinforced by the aging in

bottles which are kept in cellars at controlled temperature of 53°F.
