91 Points | International Wine Cellar , March 2010

($185; a blend of 59% chardonnay and 41% pinot nero) Medium-deep straw with a lively, very fine mousse Deep, slightly smoky nose shows orange blossom, vanillin oak and apricot aromas, plus a good dusting of minerals. Enters the mouth creamy and full, but with plenty of freshness to its ripe citrus, almond and yeasty flavors. Long and pure on the minerally aftertaste. This is the top Franciacorta made by Bellavista, from grapes harvested in the best crus of Erbusco, Nigoline, Torbiato and Colombaro.
