Franciacorta Brut DOCG Alma Gran Cuvèe - Bellavista
VAT incl.
Franciacorta Cuvèe Alma di Bellavista is the best known and most appreciated Italian sparkling wine in the context of the great Lombard bubbles. Alma is an "affectionate" term for the land that generates wonders, from the Latin literally translates to "she who nourishes". And Cuvée is a symbol of our tradition inspired by the pure essence of harmony.
This cuvée represents the essence of Franciacorta and the idea of harmony of the Franciacorta Method by Bellavista. It is made with mainly chardonnay grapes, then pinot noir and a small amount of pinot bianco. In the cellar it is assembled by skilled hands, starting from numerous selections of harvest and some "reserve" wines from previous vintages, an indispensable treasure to perpetuate the style of the house over time. Another decisive factor is the fermentation and élevage of part of the base wines in small white oak barrels, capable of adding intensity and complexity.
The color of the wine is straw yellow with green reflections, the perlage is fine and continuous. Ample and enveloping, the aromas range from ripe fruit to fresh flowers, up to notes of vanilla and pastry. In the mouth it is savory and complete, fresh and vibrant, decidedly coherent on the aromatic level. Long and harmonious finish

The Cellar: Bellavista
It was born in Franciacorta in 1977 by the will of the entrepreneur Vittorio Moretti, who decides to transform a few hectares of vineyards owned by the family into a company. Located on the Bellavista hill, it takes its name from the splendid position, which from a single point embraces the Iseo lake, up to the Po Valley. With foresight, the entrepreneur Moretti expands and selects his lands up to today reaching 203 hectares of vineyards. The respect for traditions and the great passion for the land of the founder make Bellavista today a brand and a name of great respect, refinement and elegance in the world. Excellence is a daily goal that Bellavista continues with 3 great ideals: Naturalness; Qualitative Constancy and Typological Recognition. Thanks to this and above all to respect for nature's time; Bellavista offers a timeless class and style identifiable in simplicity and artisan attention to detail.
