Ca' del Bosco 1998 Brut Sparkling (Franciacorta)
From the faraway 1998 vintage, this lovely sparkling blend from northern Italy delivers a suave, smooth personality with complex layers of toasted baguette, honey-roasted almond, candied orange and ripe peach. Great intensity and a bitter almond finish cap the enduring mouthfeel.

Bellavista NV Gran Cuvée Satèn Sparkling (Franciacorta)
- Editors' Choice
- $59
Lightly scrambled egg, vanilla and apple fruit all total a seductive, classy nose that’s one part Champagne and one part Italian. Crisp but deep, with lovely apple and peach flavors. Quite zesty yet smooth, with serious aging potential; in fact, cellaring for a few years should really bring it to its peak. Imported by Empson (USA) Ltd.

Bellavista 2001 Gran Cuvée Pas Operé Sparkling (Franciacorta)
