Franciacorta Alma di BellavistaFranciacorta Alma by Bellavista is made from Pinot Noir (22%), Chardonnay (77%), and Pinot Blanc (1%) grapes. Its unmistakable personality is shaped by at least 75 of the 140 harvest variables that the company has at its disposal to "compose" its prestigious sparkling wines. Among these are also "reserve wines" from previous vintages that give additional depth to the sensory profile of the cuvée. In addition, there is the fermentation and aging in small white oak barrels of at least 35% of the wines that make up the blend (the term cuvée refers to the combination of multiple wines from multiple parcels of land and/or from multiple vintages). The subsequent aging was 36 months on the lees in the bottle.

On the nose, it releases aromas of ripe yellow flesh fruit and candied citrus intertwined with hints of honey and bread crust. On the palate, it captivates with its elegant texture and lively freshness that integrates well with the subtle mineral undertone flowing into the long and exciting finish characterized by fruity and citrusy notes. Perfect as a sparkling wine for celebrations and special occasions, it pairs well with any meal, tasty seafood recipes, or vegetarian dishes.
