Bellavista - Surprising Personality and Character, Grace and Lightness: The Unique Style of Franciacorta

It was born in Franciacorta in 1977 by the will of the entrepreneur Vittorio Moretti, who decided that year to transform a small wine business founded on a few hectares owned by the family into a company. They are located on the Bellavista hill, so named for the splendid position that, from a single point, embraces Lake Iseo and the entire Po valley up to the Alps. With foresight, Vittorio Moretti pays particular attention to the purchase of new vineyards up to the current 203 hectares of vineyards, included in the area of vocation of the "Franciacorta".

Bellavista - Grande Cuvée Alma Rosé - Franciacorta D.O.C.G. - Luxury Limited Edition - 750 ml

The perlage is pleasantly fine and refined. Dynamic on the verge of exuberance in forming the crown. The color is the royal one of antique rose gold, delicate and extremely elegant. The scent is broad and is characterized by fragrant notes of Mediterranean white flowers that harmonize with hints of ripe citrus. The predominant bouquet is characterized by a rare encounter between fresh and intense notes of yellow-fleshed fruit, nectarine peach and lychee, and generous accents of red berry, pomegranate and pink elderberry. Delicate accords of white chocolate, cocoa, almond and marzipan pleasantly surprise. Flavor perfectly matching the nose. Subtly silky, enveloping and long. Its extremely fine structure is a delicate intertwining that lasts over time. A texture that underlies a unique lightness. Its persistence is long. A sip that symbolizes freshness.

Bellavista Alma Rosé

A continuous revolution towards essentiality, a sip of rare finesse that does not betray the Bellavista style: crystal clear, essential, simple. Of great enveloping and pleasantness, a wine with a distinctive character, endowed with absolute freshness and verticality, made even more evident by the zero dosage.

To complete the grande cuvée collection, alma rosé represents, with alma brut and alma non-dosed, the maximum expression of our understanding of Franciacorta. A territory that brings all its biodiversity into the glass, which at each harvest gives us the charm of an extraordinarily wide range of expression and rich in nuances

A wine from the non-vintage range that represents the emblem of the Bellavista winemaking style: excellence made mainly with chardonnay and pinot noir grapes, from the best plots and numerous selections, as well as some reserve wines. A priceless treasure that allows continuity in the Bellavista style. The unmistakable texture of the alma line is designated through the composition of at least 80 of the 140 variables that are part of Bellavista's heritage.

Tasting Notes

Antique rose to the eye, with fine and persistent perlage in the glass. The nose perfectly combines notes of white flowers and ripe citrus, yellow fruits, lychee and pomegranate, which leave room for more complex hints of white chocolate, cocoa and almond. Thin, fresh and creamy on the palate, it enters with a smooth and balanced sip.

Pairings

Excellent as an aperitif but also to accompany fish appetizers, sushi and raw seafood. Very interesting also with spaghetti with octopus ragout.
