Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CA' DEL BOSCO |
Very bright medium straw colour. Very slightly honeyed, hazelnut-tinged nose with some ripe apricot-lemon-apple puree notes. Fairly dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, slightly citrusy, ripe melon-apricot flavours with a lingering, fairly complex, effervescent finish. Similar to when it last appeared in Vintages (***) on December 12, 2015 at $39.95 and was Recommended. TONY ASPLER / 90-points / BUY - A nose of apples with a leery, nutty note; medium-bodied, dry, apple and pear flavours; well-balanced with a touch of bitterness on the finish to give it character. Has 12.5% alcohol and 8 g/L residual sugar with lot number L16167 on the back label. |

TASTING NOTE: The NV Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige Brut offers a sophisticated and stylish presentation with exotic fruit, baked bread, peach cobbler and Golden Delicious apple. This pretty Cuvée (made with 75% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Bianco and 15% Pinot Nero) offers a great sense of richness and creaminess that adds to the fine and silky nature of the perlage. It has the natural acidity and bright freshness to pair with raw seafood. Score - 91 (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Aug. 23, 2015) |
