Winery of the Year
Ca 'del Bosco
Ca ’del Bosco stands for listening to Nature, for giving it a chance to express itself in every form with the help of man, who acts as the custodian of an extraordinary legacy – using the land without using it up. The Ca’ del Bosco Method results in products that find their identity only through an investment in the land that yields them, leading naturally to the adoption of organic viticulture.
And so it is Nature that decides. Ca’ del Bosco only helps it along, because their wine is already in the vineyards, just like Michelangelo’s David was already in the block of Carrara marble. Nature is power, and wine is its expression: Maurizio Zanella and his family are the custodians of the transition from power to expression.
A balance between tradition and innovation
Ca’ del Bosco stands for innovation, in the sense of finding the best way to turn the forms of Nature (the vineyards) into a form of Culture (wine). In order to listen to the reality and complexity of Nature, Ca’ del Bosco invests in innovation, research and technology, so that man’s knowledge will exalt the soil’s potential. Washing grapes and eliminating contact with oxygen through new, patented methods is the exact opposite of an intrusion of technology in rural customs: it means eliminating all that which is superfluous or artificial, which interferes with our understanding of the esthetic potential of our lands.
Technological innovation is only today’s term for what we will call tradition tomorrow. Ca’ del Bosco stands for the courage to admit that if we respect a tradition, it is only because someone in the past was bold enough to innovate.
