Reviews and Ratings

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This Chardonnay dominant Sparkling is combined with Pinot Nero (77/22) . Its liveliness and fine, fresh mousse are a delight on the palate. 2 1/2 years on the lees lend texture, depth and character dominated by an orchard apple profile. The enjoyment exends through an impressive finish. This would be perfect with pastry appetizers or a light roast chicken lunch.

Franciacorta Bellavista Alma Gran Cuvée Brut is from the Lombardy wine region and is made in the traditional method as in the making of champagne. The apple pie and lemon curd flavours are delicious on this sparkler with a fine and persistent mousse. Enjoy this one on its own as an aperitif. - Community Wine Reviews
