On my Top 100 list

Ca' del Bosco, Erbusco (BS)

Ca' del Bosco is a winery in Erbusco, in Lombardy. Its viticulture has been certified organic since 2014, and in 2024 it added the Biodiversity Friend certification.

One of its wines has an unusual origin. Maurizio Zanella commissioned a genetic and ampelographic study at the Università Cattolica di Piacenza. The study found that a vine sold as Cabernet Franc was really Carménère.

The winery launched Carmenero in 1997, its first varietal Carménère, once that result was in.
