Bellavista Brut Rosé 2011 75clDOCG | Franciacorta | Lombardy | ItalySold outSize 75 clAll vintages 2010 2011 2017 2018 2020 Critics scores 91 Robert ParkerCelebrating its 40th anniversary, the Bellavista 2011 Franciacorta Brut Rosé is a delicate and luminous expression with a very pale pink-peach color and copper highlights. The nose presents warm notes of cinnamon and baked bread with stone fruit and wild berry at the back. Ultimately, the bouquet is more generous than the mouthfeel. The wine is crisp and lean in texture with a bright and delineated feel. The blend is 62% Chardonnay and 38% Pinot Nero. Producer BellavistaEasily comparable, if not better than a good non-vintage Champagne, Bellavista is one of Franciacorta’s most famous producers beside Ca’ del Bosco. What started as a hobby over three decades ago for founder Vittorio Moretti, and winemaker, Mattia Vezzola, Bellavista now produces flavorful and refined sparkling wines. Franciacorta is Italy’s response to French Champagne. The wines are fermented in the same way, with second fermentation in the bottle – this aging on the lees adds complexity and richness, as well as a natural sparkle. With patience for the art, Bellavista’s concentration and devotion to the vinification process shine through in their brilliant Franciacorta wines.
