The Franciacorta DOCG Grande Cuvée Alma Brut in the prestigious Salmanazar version, presented in an elegant wooden case, is a gem from the Bellavista winery, one of the most renowned wine producers in Italy. Reflecting the high expertise and dedication to quality that characterize Bellavista, this cuvée expresses the excellence of the Franciacorta region through a skillful blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Nero, and Pinot Bianco.

The Grande Cuvée Alma Brut stands out for its refined and complex profile. The winemaking process follows stringent standards, with partial fermentation carried out in small wooden barrels and a long maturation period in the bottle, which helps develop the wine's distinctive structure and aromas. Its fine and persistent perlage is the result of a careful and prolonged bottle fermentation phase.

Visually, the wine presents a bright straw yellow color with golden reflections. On the nose, seductive aromas of fresh fruit, such as peach and citrus, emerge along with floral nuances and slight touches of vanilla and brioche, a result of aging. On the palate, the Franciacorta Grande Cuvée Alma Brut reveals itself as elegant and harmonious, with a perfect balance between lively acidity and a rich, creamy texture. The finish is long and pleasantly fresh.

This Franciacorta is an ideal choice to accompany celebratory moments or as a sophisticated aperitif. It is also perfect in pairing with delicate dishes such as seafood, sushi, or white fish carpaccio.

The presentation in Salmanazar format, which corresponds to twelve standard bottles, and the wooden case make this Franciacorta DOCG Grande Cuvée Alma Brut from Bellavista a stunning option for collectors and significant gifts, destined to impress the most discerning wine lovers.
