Vineyards 360°
Ca’ del Bosco’s heritage lies in its land: over 450 hectares (1112 acres) directly managed by the winery, 281 hectares (694 acres) of which consist of vineyards that have for quite a few years now been tended according to the principles of organic farming, and since 2011 have been so certified.
They are joined by about 112 hectares (277 acres) of woods, distributed around the vineyards, and 54 hectares (133 acres) of pastures and cropland, bordered by rows of trees, as well as 4.5 hectares (11 acres) of olive groves, which yield a modest quantity of oil. This diversity combines to create a complex ecosystem that can support multiple life forms, of which Ca’ del Bosco sees itself as custodian.
In 2020 – in collaboration with Alessandro Masnaghetti – the winery decided to map its vineyards, using images that would show them in the context of the Franciacorta landscape and its less widely known and more captivating aspects. In fact, observing the landscape and reading and interpreting its cues is the most effective and straightforward path to understanding a winemaking region and appreciating its wines.
These are not videos, but stills: wide angle, enveloping shots that draw in the viewers, transforming them from mere onlookers into active users, able to explore the images independently and reading, if they so choose, the notes on agronomy and other topics.
