Ca’ del Bosco’s Merlot is one of the most significant vintages of this rare and iconic Franciacorta wine, produced only in exceptional harvest years and in very limited quantities.
In fact, 2001 is one of the vintages in which the winery decided to produce a 100% Merlot following its debut in 1990, reaffirming its philosophy of extremely selective sourcing of grapes from hand-picked vineyards. The wine is the result of a very rigorous production process, featuring manual selection of the grapes, fermentation in wood, and a long, meticulous aging process that spans several years in both barriques and bottles, with the aim of producing a Merlot of great precision and longevity.
In the glass, the 2001 now displays elegant development: the fruit is ripe and deep, with notes of plum, black cherry in liqueur, and dark berries, enriched by tertiary aromas of sweet tobacco, leather, fine spices, cocoa, and undergrowth. The palate is soft and velvety, typical of a well-aged Merlot, yet still supported by good structure and now-smoothed tannins that lend it balance and finesse rather than power.
At the table, this is a wine for rich, full-bodied dishes, where its smoothness complements hearty meals without being overshadowed. It pairs well with braised beef, slow-roasted meats, filet mignon with red wine sauces, stewed game such as wild boar or roe deer, and dishes featuring porcini mushrooms. It also works well with aged, flavorful cheeses, especially those with a fatty component that harmonizes with its roundness.
