FRANCIACORTA BRUT GRAN CUVEE "ALMA" BELLAVISTA
BELLAVISTA, takes its name from the splendid position that, from a single point, embraces Lake Iseo and the entire tip of the Po valley up to the chain of the Alps. With foresight Vittorio Moretti dedicates particular attention to the purchase of new vineyards up to to reach the current 203 vineyards, included in the "Franciacorta" vocation area.
Franciacorta "Gran Cuvee Alma Brut" is the maximum expression of a project which, since 1977, has set itself the goal of seeking the pure essence of harmony. Today, it is the symbol of a tradition that wants to represent, in quality and typology, the most mysterious soul of the land of Francicaorta and the oenologist style of Bellavista.
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.
