Carmenero
A provocation that turned into a revelation. Carménère, for years confused with Cabernet Franc, finally comes out and asserts its identity, like a wolf throwing off the lambskin, as ironically depicted on the label.
Data sheet
Back in 1996, Ca' del Bosco tasked the Department of Agriculture of the Catholic university of the Sacred Heart in Piacenza with finding and revealing the existence, origin and identity of the Carménère varietal. Hence, in 1997, the first year of Carmenero, it was classified as a table wine. With the 2008 harvest, it was awarded the denomination of Rosso del Sebino IGT.
