Bellavista's Franciacorta Brut Alma Assemblage 1 is made from Chardonnay grapes selected from the best vineyards in Franciacorta. The harvest is strictly manual, with careful selection of the best bunches to ensure elegance and finesse. The first fermentation takes place in heat-conditioned steel, preserving freshness and aromaticity, while the foam setting follows the Classic Method, with a long aging on the yeasts that gives complexity and structure to the wine. Brut dosage is calibrated to enhance purity, balance and minerality.
It appears bright straw yellow and has a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, notes of white-fleshed fruit, citrus and light floral nuances can be distinguished, accompanied by hints of yeast and bread crust due to aging on the yeasts. On the palate it is fresh, harmonious and enveloping, with a creamy bubble, good flavour and an elegant and persistent finish, which recalls the fruity and mineral sensations perceived on the nose.
Refined and versatile Franciacorta, ideal as an aperitif but also for a full meal. It pairs perfectly with fish dishes, shellfish, sushi, delicate first courses and fresh or medium-aged cheeses.
To enhance its freshness, finesse and minerality, a service temperature of 6/8°C is recommended.
