"The MV Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige, an Extra Brut style of Franciacorta, is remarkably pretty with floral perfumes and white smoke blossoming into a pure display of ripe pear and hints of lemon confit. It’s round and pliant, balanced by a brilliant mix of bright acids and minerals that gives way to yellow apples. The finish is wonderfully dry and clean, tapering off to hints of savory spice. It’s a great introduction to the Ca' del Bosco portfolio. This is a blend of 75% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Nero and 10% Pinot Bianco." -Vinous

"Packaged in a transparent bottle and an easily recognized yellow-gold label, the NV Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige Brut is a blend of 75% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Bianco and 15% Pinot Nero. This is among Ca' del Bosco's most affordable and accessible sparkling wines. It offers steady consistency year after year. I've always loved the bouquet of this wine. It shows a slightly spicy side that reminds me of Christmas oranges nailed with cloves. In the mouth, the wine is lean and crisp with fine and persistent perlage." -Robert Parker

"Fine and harmonious, with mouthwatering acidity enlivening well-meshed flavors of brioche, poached apricot and candied pink grapefruit peel. Snappy, mineral-laced finish."

"Aromas of ripe Bartlett pear and bread crust follow through to the creamy palate along with vanilla, citrus and a hint of crystallized ginger. A silky perlage provides the backdrop."
