"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Bellavista Brut, Franciacorta DOCG, Italy" from the vintage 1998 on 01.11.2011 with 90 of 100 points.
"A hot year, with just a little rain at harvest time. It is made from 75% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Nero grapes. The colour is a deep straw yellow, and the perlage is very fine, sedate and dense. The nose is fragrant, with milky and smoky notes and mineral (flinty) hints and scents of flowers and almonds. Its flavour is full, tangy, very forthright and intense, and creamy. It displays good body and persistence."
yr. 1993 Doctorwine:

"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Bellavista Brut, Franciacorta DOCG, Italy" from the vintage 1993 on 01.11.2011 with 89 of 100 points.
"A very hot and rather dry year. It is made from 75% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Nero grapes. The colour is a golden yellow, with very fine, slow but not abundant perlage. The nose is evolved, with notes of ripe exotic fruits, slightly mushroomy and broad, with hints of chestnut honey and almonds underlying. It is full-flavoured, creamy and decidedly evolved on the palate, yet tangy, full-bodied and very long."
yr. 2006 Doctorwine:
86 of 100 Points.
"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Bellavista Brut, Franciacorta DOCG, Italy" from the vintage 2006 on 01.11.2011 with 86 of 100 points.
"This was a fairly regular and straightforward vintage, if rather hot. It is made from 75% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Nero grapes. It has a straw yellow colour with greenish highlights, and a fine, dense perlage. It is fruity and fragrant on the nose, with hints of rennet apples, faint notes of yoghurt, creamy goat-€™s cheese, crusty bread, fresh almonds and pineapple. The flavour is fresh, tangy and lively, with good balance and reasonable persistence, but perhaps its taste profile is a little bit simple."

"Pronunciato e decisamente accattivante offre sentori di gerani bianchi, tiglio, acacia, nocciole tostate e miele millefiori. In sottofondo l'energia della matrice regala sfumature di mandorle tritate ed amaretto sbriciolato. Corpo pieno, struttura solida e compatta ed un finale che accelera dal centro palato in poi. Sboccatura 2020. Delizioso ora."

"(2014) The main product line is 80% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir, sometimes with one or two percent of Pinot Blanc. It is bottle with 8g/l dosage and Mattia says that there is a small proportion of reserve wine in this, with the cellars having reserves that go back for around eight years. There's a herbal note to this, charmingly golden wine with a steady stream of bubbles. A touch of butter and marzipan, with a touch of something like melon skins or lemon rind, a touch of phenolic. The palate has loads of grapefruit and bittersweet orange. There is a perceptible sweetness to this, with a clean, fresh finish of apples and lemons giving a tangy finish."

"Strahlendes, helles Strohgelb, anhaltende Perlage; zeigt in der Nase schönes Spiel nach reifem Apfel, etwas Zitrusfrüchten und Brioche; eröffnet am Gaumen sehr voluminös, breitet sich mit cremiger Finesse aus, sehr klar und geradlinig, anhaltend, dezent mineralisch."
