產地：義大利倫巴第區佛朗恰克塔(Franciacorta)
品種：72%夏多內與28%黑皮諾
購於：BC Liquor Store (CAD $65)
開瓶：2014-05-03於溫哥華自宅
評分：WS 90 / RP 91
視覺：清澈，中檸檬色
嗅覺：純淨，中度的黃檸檬，杏仁，麵包與白胡椒氣味，陳年中
味覺：不甜，中酸性，中酒精濃度，中上酒體，綿密泡沫。有中上的黃檸檬皮，草莓，礦物，堅果，菸草，麵包與石蠟口味。長而口水直流的餘韻。
結論：★★★ 第二次試佛朗恰克塔的氣泡酒，還是覺得它是除香檳區外數一數二以傳統法釀製的氣泡酒產區，盲飲時除了酸性之外還不大容易喝出與非年份香檳的差異。Bellavista雖是此產區的招牌酒莊之一。此瓶酒的香味稍嫌薄弱，口味的層次中等，均衡度與濃郁僅在中上水準，雖然有長餘韻但不大值得它比一般香檳還高的定價。已可適飲，無繼續貯存的必要。

WS 90 / RP 91
Appearance: Clear, medium lemon
Nose: Clean, with medium lemon, almond, bready and white paper aromas at developing stage
Palate: Dry, medium acidity, medium alcohol and medium+ body. Creamy mousse. With medium+ flavor intensity of lemon zest, strawberry, mineral, nutty, tobacco, bready and waxy flavors. Long watermouthing finish.
Conclusion: ★★★ After trying Franciacorta the second time I still vouched it one of the best areas producing traditional-method sparkling wines other than Champagne -- can't really tell the difference between this wine and NV champagne while blind-tasting except for acidity. Bellavista is one of the signature winery here, however this wine has slim aromas with just medium or above layers, balance and complexity - not really matching its higher-than-champagne price tag. Drink now. No need for further ageing.
