Bellavista

Alma Gran Cuvée - ein Franciacorta im typischen Bellavista-Stil, elegant und vielschichtig. Aromatisches Bouquet, am Gaumen tolle Frucht und zarter Schmelz, harmonisch lang. SUPERIORE.DE

Feiner Franciacorta Brut mit neuem Namen und in hellem Gelbgold mit zartem Mousseux. In der Nase sehr vielschichtig und intensiv, von feinen reifen Hefenoten geprägt, nach Brioche, feinwürzig unterlegte, saftige gelbe Frucht, etwas Pfirsich und Zitrus. Am Gaumen komplex und kraftvoll, saftige Frucht, dazu die frische Struktur, eine verführerische minimale Extraktsüße im Nachhall und feine rotbeerige Nuancen im Nachhall. SUPERIORE.DE

"The wine shows an accessible, easy-drinking style with lean character and substance. However, the bouquet is quite fragrant and generous with delicate notes of stone fruit followed by toasted almond and crushed mineral. This lean classic method-sparkling wine has the snappy personality and acidity to pair with appetizers and finger foods." Robert Parker

"Deep, smoky nose, then a rich and complete palate that caresses and fascinates, candied citrus and toasty notes cascading at the finish." James Suckling

Bellavistas Pas Operé bezaubert im Duft mit elegantem Pfirsicharoma und feinen Nuancen von Mandarinen. Elegant und ausgewogen am Gaumen mit lebendiger Säure und guter Mineralik. Ein außerordentlicher Franciacorta von allumfassender Komplexität. SUPERIORE.DE

"An aromatic note of marzipan wafts from the glass of this balanced version, with a refined mousse and well-cut, snappy acidity framing rich flavors of ripe Gala apple, chalk, biscuit and lemon zest." Wine Spectator

"From a hot and dry vintage, the 2012 Franciacorta Pas Operé Extra Brut is a blend of two-thirds Chardonnay and one-third Pinot Nero. Fruit is rigorously selected only from vines aged 30 years old or more, planted with southeast-facing exposures. Because of the vintage conditions, I pick up on thick, full-bodied aromas of ripe peach, poached pear and honey. There is a sweet floral component to the sparkling wine that reminds me of almond blossom or honeysuckle. This wine comes close to feeling heavy and sticky, but ultimately its natural acidity kicks in to better balance the overall mouthfeel." Robert Parker

"A deep and complex, maturing sparkling wine with a delicate smoky note. Plenty of candied lemon and enormous raciness and drive on the palate, yet there is nothing demanding about this great spumante at all." James Suckling

Pinot Nero und Chardonnay geben diesem Ausnahme-Franciacorta ein zartes Lachsrot mit Orangetouch. In der Nase Erdbeerfrucht, ein Hauch von schwarzen Johannisbeeren und feine blumige Nuancen. Am Gaumen frisch strukturiert, mit lebhaftem Mousseux und zart mit Zitrus unterlegter rotbeeriger Aromatik. Ein leichtfüßiges Wesen mit Eleganz, Charakter und Anmut bis in den Abgang. SUPERIORE.DE

"A very sophisticated rosé with a rose-petal, orange-blossom and nectarine nose, leading into a wonderful combination of caressing silkiness and animating freshness. Long and delicate finish. Did I say seduction?" James Suckling

Duftet fein hefig und opulent nach tropischen Früchten. Hervorragende Persönlichkeit, elegant, vollmundig und mit toller Balance zwischen fruchtiger Weichheit und Struktur. Önologe Mattia Vezzola und Bellavista setzen auch mit ihrem Satèn Maßstäbe. SUPERIORE.DE

"A pure expression of Chardonnay, the 2014 Franciacorta Brut Satèn is a downplayed and extremely delicate sparkling wine. The finessed and subtle nature of the wine is further reinforced by the cool and moist characteristics of the 2014 vintage (that generally resulted in thinner, lighter wines). This expression is aged in a combination of steel and barrique. Once the cuvée is established, the wine ages in bottle for four years. This results in a delicate bouquet that is accented by candied lemon, almond, grapefruit and freshly baked bread." Robert Parker

"Very fine and complex candied-citrus aromas, the creaminess from yeast contact beautifully matched with the elegance from the base wine, to create a silky whole that glides effortlessly over your palate." James Suckling

"The 2011 Franciacorta Brut Satèn spreads over the palate with soft, silky intensity. This pretty sparkling wine offers a delicate embroidery of white peach, almond blossom and sweet citrus. The wine imparts smooth consistency with soft perlage and creamy foam on the finish. This is a perfect and elegant choice." Robert Parker

"Pale greenish straw. Much gentler and more sophisticated and creamier than the regular bottling. Really clean and energising. Long too. Very refined." Jancis Robinson

"I like the sliced apple, pear and spice character to this. Full, long and flavorful. Lovely creamy texture. The bitterness at the end give complexity. Lovely food sparkler." James Suckling

Blumig, strukturiert und tief - die Riserva Franciacorta Extra Brut Vittorio Moretti, einer der absolut besten Spumante, die Italien zu bieten hat. Saftige Pfirsiche, Aprikosen, Minze und Blumen im opulenten Bouquet. Am Gaumen sehr lebendig und rein mit balancierten Noten vom Eichenholz. Ein warmer, weicher Wein mit großem Entwicklungspotenzial. SUPERIORE.DE

"A literally breathtaking spumante that is so incredibly fresh for seven years of age. Super-delicate with enormous vitality and a finish that doesn’t want to stop. This is delicious now, but is built for further aging and, if well stored, has many years ahead of it." James Suckling
