Frisk, brödig doft med lite bokna äpplen i bakgrunden. Någonting vegetabilisk också, vit sparris kanske. Frisk, syrlig smak, fin mousse och mycket bra längd.

Unsure of disgorgement but the color (med. gold) and cork shape make me think this has 10+ years in bottle.
Moderate bubbles within; lively nose of lemon, stonefruit, yeast; fuller mouthfeel with flavors of stonefruit, mushy apple, bread. Alcohol is noticeable.
This wine would represent well in a blind Champagne tasting.
celebrating new year's eve at ellen's house. shared with pat, louis, ellen, mario and aurora. the last of many bottles purchased over the years. this bottle was purchased in 2012. still youthful but not as robust as in the past. no oxidation or change in color. fruit. mostly white peach, is receding. modest bubbles. unfortunately, this bottle had been stored upright for some period of time. although the cork was intact and still had ample pressure behind it upon extraction, it is possible that there was some contraction in the past. the wine was enjoyable but not at its best. having survived past traumas, the wine is a good example of the quality coming from the area of franciacorta.

served (by me) at Central Jersey CT offline held at Common Lot in Millburn, N.J. shared with doubled1969 and the crew. have enjoyed this product since 2006. this bottle was purchased in april of 2014. the wine has held up very well. still youthful, fresh and vibrant. hints of bread/yeast and apple. not much acidity. persistent bubbles. was enjoyed by all although the bottle was not finished. had remaining two glasses the following day. still showed well despite exposure to oxygen in the bottle over nite. have enjoyed franciacorta sparkling from other producers in recent years. bellavista is still a top contender from this region.

Sur les pommes cuites et les levures, acidité moyenne
et manque de longueur.
