Bellavista Cuvee Brut
Of the entire range, the most characteristic of Franciacorta sparkling wines. Its balance derives from a subtle orchestration of at least thirty selections, as well as the blending of younger and older wines (this is a non-vintage), conferring consistency, roundness and finesse. Grapes are 80% Chardonnay/20% Pinot Bianco and Pinot Nero. Wine Advocate The non-vintage Brut, is a blend of 80% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir, and 10% Pinot Bianco. It exhibits a refined bouquet of yeasty bread, dried apricots, pear, and citrus. This wine, which spent three years on its lees, is rich, fresh, medium-bodied, and long in the mouth, with tiny pinpoint bubbles and a lot of frothiness. Drink it over the next 2-4 years. Score: 91. —Robert Parker, December 2002.Wine Enthusiast Snappy yet smooth, with subtle apple, toast and vanilla aromas. Very good in terms of feel, with dry, spicy flavors of baked apple, white pepper and herbs. Slightly mature notes of mushroom and Sherry rise up on the finish, lending this bubbly added complexity. Score: 91. December 15, 2005. |
