Ca' Del Bosco Cuvee Prestige Franciacorta Edition 47

Ryan Mitchell — Nice but expected more for the price

7/10

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.

Sophie Brennan — Proper Italian sparkling

8/10

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.

Priya Sharma — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

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.
