Bellavista Alma Non Dosato

The purest side of Franciacorta. Contemporary expression of a sensorial profile that characterizes this cuvée for its flavor, freshness, finesse, elegance and agility. A sensory expression of contemporary Franciacorta.

It is a wine that originates from all the Bellavista vineyards and embodies the need to have a complete range that satisfies a taste that has made room for itself in the last 10 years, which is that of wines with little or no dosage. A first step to create a line of non-vintage wines which, alongside Alma, will be completed next year with the addition of a rosé.

To produce this wine we have drawn the grapes from the entire vineyard heritage from which Alma herself draws, choosing to dedicate it to Francesca Moretti's contemporary taste, according to her stylistic indications. A new generation with a current taste, which prefers the absence of dosage, a fresher, crunchy, vertical sensory profile.

Blending of 90% chardonnay and 10% pinot noir, it ages for 30 months starting from the harvest. The image responds in its aesthetic choices to the fresh, immediate, contemporary taste of the wine, so as to create a sensorial link between the essence of the product and the harmony of the shape.
