Bellavista’s Franciacorta Brut Alma Assemblage 1 is made from Chardonnay grapes selected from the finest vineyards in Franciacorta. Harvesting is strictly manual, with careful selection of the finest bunches to ensure elegance and finesse. The first fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preserving freshness and aromatic character, whilst the second fermentation follows the Metodo Classico, with a long ageing on the lees that imparts complexity and structure to the wine. The Brut dosage is calibrated to enhance purity, balance and minerality.
Visually, it presents a brilliant straw-yellow colour and a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, notes of white-fleshed fruit, citrus and light floral nuances are evident, accompanied by hints of yeast and bread crust resulting from ageing on the lees. On the palate, it is fresh, harmonious and enveloping, with a creamy effervescence, good savouriness and an elegant, persistent finish, echoing the fruity and mineral sensations perceived on the nose.
A refined and versatile Franciacorta, ideal as an aperitif but also throughout a meal. It pairs perfectly with fish dishes, shellfish, sushi, delicate pasta dishes and fresh or medium-aged cheeses.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 8–10°C.
