Franciacorta Brut DOCG Alma Gran Cuvée
Description
The Franciacorta Alma Gran Cuvée Brut sparkling wine from Bellavista comes from vineyards located in the heart of the Franciacorta DOCG. The name Alma , which in Latin means "she who feeds", is a tribute to this land.
It is mainly produced with Chardonnay grapes and with Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco grapes, harvested and selected only by hand from vines with an average age of over 20 years. The Alma Gran Cuvée was born from the 10 most suitable parcels of the company vineyards, 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 of historic vintages, offers 140 variables for the assembly of the cuvée, which ages on the lees for at least 40 months. At least 35% of the wines that make it up mature in small oak barrels, which give them extraordinary complexity.
Bellavista Alma is characterized by a straw yellow color with greenish reflections. The nose opens with a broad perfume, among which pleasant nuances of sweet fruits stand out, enriched with light notes of vanilla. On the palate it is pleasantly sapid and complete in the aftertaste, with a long and persistent finish.
Perfect to accompany appetizers and first courses, it is ideal in combination with appetizers and fish dishes.
