Ca' del Bosco Cuvee Prestige Franciacorta Brut (750ml) – The Wine Club
92 points James Suckling
A very vinous sparkling wine with a fresh and fruity character and lots of apple and pear undertones. Full body and soft texture. Serious. Disgorged in 2016. Drink now. (10/2017)

The NV Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige Brut is packaged in a squat and transparent bottle. This beautiful sparkling wine shows a unique aromatic profile with spicy notes of spearmint and fresh oregano leaf that pop to the top. Beyond those vertical aromas are heavier tones of stone fruit, honeydew melon and blanched almond. This Franciacorta (75% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Bianco and 15% Pinot Nero) offers spicy and vibrant aromatic tones that you don't find in its peers. (ML) (5/2017)
Wine Enthusiast
Aromas of citrus, orchard fruit and a subtle whiff of toast lead the nose on this delightful sparkler. The straightforward palate shows yellow apple skin, bitter walnut and a note of baked bread alongside firm, vivacious bubbles. (KO) (12/2016)
Wine Spectator
Accents of toasted brioche and butterscotch lead to baked apricot, pastry and chopped almond flavors in this rich Franciacorta firmed by lively acidity. Disgorged winter 2016. (AN, Web Only-2018)
