Annamaria Clementi Ca’ del Bosco is born from the blending of 3 different crus located on the gentle hills of Erbusco, of which 20 are planted with Chardonnay aged 35 years, 2 are planted with Pinot Bianco aged 24years and 6 are planted with Pinot Nero aged 38 years that yield top-quality fruits. The selected musts are from the first pressing and are vinified in small oak barrels, chosen with rigorous selection of the raw materials that compose them and with an aging of at least 3 years. The wine will rest for another 6 months sur lies and undergoes malolactic fermentation. A demanding selection allows for choosing the best among the 28 base wines that will make up the Annamaria Clementi; these will be blended to gravitate in a specific container.

The dégorgement takes place in the absence of oxygen through a method patented by the winery itself and a small amount of sulfur is added.
