Ca' del Bosco, founded in 1969, is one of the world's foremost producers of Franciacorta and Italy's most revered sparkling wine from the Lombardy region. This Cuvée Prestige Edizione 46 bottling features 79.5% Chardonnay, 1.5% Pinot Bianco, and 19% Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir). 

Since 1919, Kettmeir has been at the heart of winemaking in Alto Adige in the northeast corner of Italy. The site’s high elevation creates unique conditions for grape cultivation featuring a range of soil types, aspects, and temperatures. These are the raw materials for exceptional sparkling wines, which Kettmeir has been producing since 1964.

Italy meets Willamette Valley in this trio featuring:

• 2022 Santa Margherita Extra Brut Prosecco Superiore Valdobbiadene DOCG
• 2021 Pinot Nero Bianco
• 2021 Chehalem Crossing Pinot Noir 

This wine is a celebration of Sardinia's beauty and goodness, showcasing the generosity and culture of the island through one of its most cherished treasures: wine.  

Buio Buio comes from low‐yielding ungrafted old vines on sandy soils in southwest Sardinia. Buio (boo‐yo) is not only fun to say but translates to ‘darkness’. Buio Buio is an inky dark wine made with 100% Carignano grapes that have been aged in a dark cellar.

Founded in 1919 by Giuseppe Kettmeir, this winery has remained true to ancient local traditions while adapting to the needs of the modern age. Making elegant varietal wines with a strong sense of place and respect for the environment is a philosophy reflected in every bottle. The fruit for this single vineyard wine is sourced from Vigna Maso Reiner in the village of Pochi di Salorno.

ROCO staff find this Pinot Noir especially intriguing!
