Franciacorta Brut DOCG Grande Cuvée Alma Bellavista

Bellavista's Franciacorta Brut Grande Cuvée Alma comes from vineyards in the heart of Franciacorta DOCG. The name Alma, which in Latin means "she who nourishes", is a tribute to this land.

It is produced mainly from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc grapes, harvested and selected by hand from vines with an average age of over 20 years. The Grande Cuvée Alma is comes from the 10 most suitable parcels of the company's vineyards, which are cultivated as a precious garden. Once the grapes have been vinified, the combination of over 120 production factors, to which are added another 20 selections from historic vintages, provides 140 variables for the composition of the cuvée, which is aged on the lees for at least 40 months. At least 35% of the wine is matured in small oak barrels, which gives it exceptional complexity.

The colour is straw yellow with greenish reflections. To the nose, it opens with a broad perfume, with pleasant nuances of sweet fruit, enriched with light notes of vanilla. On the palate, it is pleasantly sapid and complete in the aftertaste, with a long and persistent finish.

It is an ideal accompaniment to starters and first courses, as well as hors d'oeuvres and fish dishes.
