Bellavista's Franciacorta Brut Alma Assemblage 2 represents an evolved and more complex interpretation of the Alma style, the result of an even more rigorous selection of Chardonnay grapes from Franciacorta's finest vineyards, with a contribution of Pinot Noir. Harvesting is manual and winemaking takes place separately by parcel, partly in steel and partly in small containers, to preserve finesse and identity. The foam setting follows the Classic Method, with a longer aging on the yeasts than Assembly 1, which gives greater depth, structure and elegance. Brut dosage is designed to maintain balance and expressive precision.
It appears to be a bright straw yellow color, enriched by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose it is broad and refined, with notes of ripe white-fleshed fruit, candied citrus and light floral nuances, followed by hints of yeast, bread crust and delicate pastry notes. On the palate it is enveloping and harmonious, with a creamy bubble, a well-integrated freshness and a long, elegant and balanced gustatory persistence.
Franciacorta of great class and versatility, ideal for important aperitifs and to accompany the entire meal. It pairs perfectly with structured fish dishes, shellfish, refined first courses, white meats and medium-aged cheeses.
To fully appreciate its complexity and finesse, a service temperature of 6/8°C is recommended.
