Franciacorta Alma di Bellavista is made from Pinot Nero (22%), Chardonnay (77%) and Pinot Bianco (1%) grapes. Its unmistakable personality is forged on at least 75 of the 140 vintage variables available to the company to "compose" its prestigious bubbles. These also include “reserve wines” from previous harvests that give further depth to the sensorial profile of the cuvée. Added to this is the fermentation and ageing in small white oak barrels of at least 35% of the wines that make up the assembly (the term cuvée refers precisely to the union of several wines from several land plots and/or from several years). The following refinement was 36 months on the lees in the bottle.

FRANCIACORTA BELLAVISTA ALMA: TASTING

The Franciacorta DOCG Alma Gran Cuvée Brut by Bellavista shines in the glass of a bright straw yellow colour embellished by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it releases aromas of ripe yellow pulp fruit and candied citrus fruits intertwined with hints of honey and bread crust. When sipped, it wins for the elegant texture and for the lively freshness that integrates well with the subtle mineral trail that flows into the long and exciting finish still played on fruity and citrus notes. Perfect as a sparkling wine for parties and for special occasions, it goes well with any meal, tasty seafood recipes or vegetarian dishes.
