Corte del Lupo Rosso 2023 is a Curtefranca Rosso DOC from Ca’ del Bosco that offers a modern interpretation of Franciacorta’s red wine tradition. The blend is composed of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Carménère. The grapes come from eleven vineyards located in Cazzago San Martino and Passirano and are harvested by hand into small crates. After harvest, the grapes are cooled, carefully selected, washed and completely dried. The destemmed berries are then transferred to the maceration tanks using gravity alone. Skin contact lasts between 21 and 22 days, depending on the grape variety. Following malolactic fermentation, the individual lots are blended. The wine then matures for 23 months in a combination of wood and stainless steel, followed by at least four additional months of bottle ageing after bottling. In the glass, it shows an intense colour and a harmonious aromatic profile. Merlot contributes fruit and expressiveness, Cabernet Franc adds elegance, Carménère brings roundness, while Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure. On the palate, the wine is balanced, rounded and clearly defined, with a structure designed to develop gracefully over time.
