Bellavista Franciacorta Rosé Brut Vintage 2014

Here's a wine that opens with the palest and most delicate of peach-pink colors. The 2010 Franciacorta Brut Rosé is endowed with grace and feminine appeal thanks to its pretty appearance and its enduring aromas of peach, bergamot, rose petal and almond marzipan. The aromas float seamlessly together and show a superior level of integration. Frothy mousse adds creaminess, softness and persistency. The wine is aged in both oak and stainless steel and the grape composition consists of 62% Chardonnay and 38% Pinot Nero.

There's a creamy buoyancy to the texture and overall weight of this refined Franciacorta, featuring lithe acidity layered with delicate flavors of apricot, salted almond and mille-feuille. Offers a fresh, lightly spiced finish. Disgorged November 2014. Drink now through 2021. 4,580 cases made.

Light copper with a steady stream of small bubbles. Strong yeast and bread crust notes complement ripe peach and sweet spicy aromas on the nose. Large and creamy on entry; showy ripe citrus and strawberry jelly flavors linger nicely on the peppery finish. Bright acidity gives considerable cut and energy.
