Ca' Del Bosco Cuvee Prestige Franciacorta Edition 47
Red 14% ABV ABV Ca' Del BoscoNice but expected more for the price
Tried this at a restaurant after the sommelier recommended it. It's good — clean, well-made, nice depth to it. But at nearly £44 a bottle I was hoping to be blown away and it didn't quite get there for me. Would probably pick a decent Champagne at that price instead.
Proper Italian sparkling
Picked this up from a wine shop in town after the guy behind the counter talked me into trying Franciacorta instead of my usual Prosecco. Completely different league. There's a real complexity to it that builds as you drink — not just bubbles and done. The finish hangs around just long enough to make you want more. Will definitely be going back for another bottle.
Birthday treat that delivered
My wife got me this for my 40th and wow, what a bottle. Really expressive on the nose — you can tell straight away it's a step above your average fizz. The balance between the fruit and acidity is spot on, and it just keeps drawing you back for another sip. At £44 it's not an everyday buy but for a celebration it's absolutely worth it.
Great with a nice dinner
Had this with a roast chicken last weekend and it was lovely. Not showy at all, just quietly really good if that makes sense? Clean finish, nothing harsh. My mate who knows way more about wine than me said it was excellent value for Franciacorta so I'll take his word for it. Would buy again for a dinner party.
