Ca’ del Bosco Cuvée Prestige Extra Brut Franciacorta

The NV Extra Brut Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige 46 Edizione, based on the 2021 vintage (about 75%), wafts up from the glass with a bouquet that mixes richness with an airy quality that lights up the senses. Exotic florals, tropical citrus and young peach resonate throughout. This is round and soothing with a creamy wave of soothing bubbles lifted by vibrant acidity. It tapers off sapid and long, leaving a candied lemon twang and inner floral perfumes that linger on. Drinking window: 2023-2027. Score – 92. (Eric Guido, vinous.com, Dec. 14, 2023)
