Details
De Bellavista wijngaard is 22,82 hectare groot en de Vigneto Bellavista Chianti Classico wordt sinds 1978 enkel in de allerbeste jaren gemaakt. Na de fermentatie en persing wordt de jonge wijn overgestoken op Franse eikenhouten barriques, waarvan 40% nieuw, en rijpt hier een periode van 15 maanden. De wijn is diep paars robijnrood van kleur. In de neus aroma’s van zwarte kersen, rode bessen, zoethout en Virginia tabak In het smaakpalet tonen van rijp klein zwart fruit, pruimen, salmiak en wilde munt, die gepaard gaan met een lang aanhoudende mineralige afdronk met rijpe tannine en elegante zuren.
Critici over deze wijn
Robert Parker review
2015: This wine is one of the true protagonists of the 2015 vintage. The 2015 Vigneto Bellavista offers an unreal level of intensity and depth with profound darkness and perfectly integrated tannins versus acidity. This wine was not produced in 2014. This vintage only saw 4,200 bottles made. The wine pours forth with rich fruit that is tightly woven within the wine's generous texture. Spice, smoke and tobacco appear as brief afterthoughts. Despite the beauty of the bouquet, this wine is ultimately all about the finesse and the elegance of its mouthfeel and that subtle game it plays alternating between brawn and grace. Vigneto Bellavista is bellissimo.
Wine Spectator
2015: Offers vibrant cherry and strawberry flavors out front, supported by earth, iron and tobacco notes. Chalky tannins underline all the elements and the finish extends with a whisper of fruit, mineral and tobacco.
Antonio Galloni
2015: The 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista plays very true to type, with expressive aromatic top notes from the Malvasia Nera that gives the wine its distinctive savory/floral profile. Sage lavender, black pepper, menthol and juniper berry all grow in the glass. Towering and statuesque in its presence, the 2015 is going to need a number of years to be at its best.
Perswijn
2004: elegant, pruimen en kersen, laurier; puur, mooie tannine, finesse, fijn gerijpt.
Decanter
2015: The oldest plantings here date back to 1974, and the Gran Selexione, when produced, is from two selected parcels each of Sangiovese and Malvasia Nera. Beautifully refined and elegant, waeving together notes of tobacco, toast, liquorice, underbrush and black cherry. The oak (only 4% new) is sophisticated and polished, while appetising acidity and chalky tannins give backbone to lush fruit.
