PRODOTTO DA SOC.AGR. BELLAVISTA VITICOLTORI IN ERBUSCO - ITALIA
Alma Assemblage 1 is harmony. Between nature, tradition and innovation. Son of Franciacorta, a unique land, the ideal habitat for viticulture. It is no coincidence that its name has always evoked quality and prestige. Already in the Middle Ages, in fact, this area was renowned for its wines. Today, Franciacorta DOCG is one of the most prestigious Italian appellations for classic method sparkling wines. And Bellavista represents, without fear of contradiction, a true benchmark for the area. Alma Assemblage 1 is a blend of Chardonnay (86%), Pinot Noir (13%) and a very small portion of Pinot Blanc. Carefully selected grapes from 60 estate vineyards. Vineyards with an average age of 27-28 years that ensure rich and complex grapes. Harvested by hand in small 13 kg crates, once in the cellar the grapes are processed within a few hours. The flower must is separated into three fractions, ensuring only the best for Alma. The cuvée is complemented by wines that are aged in 32% oak, giving structure and depth. After drawing, the wine matures on the lees for 30 months, with a manual remuage that perfects each bottle. To the eye, Assemblage 1 surprises with its beautiful bright yellow colour and fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, the delicate bouquet of Mediterranean flowers intertwines with lively citrus notes, providing freshness and complexity. In the mouth, freshness combines with an enveloping creaminess, with a mineral finish that leaves an elegant and memorable impression. Perfect throughout the meal, Alma Assemblage 1 goes beautifully with fish dishes, shellfish, creamy risottos or soft cheeses.
Speak of Franciacorta sparkling wines and you inevitably think of Bellavista. There are few wine companies in Italy capable of identifying so deeply with their territory. Bellavista is one of them. It was born in 1977 from a dream of entrepreneur Vittorio Moretti who chose this estate near Erbusco to give life to his own entrepreneurial project. A project that today, a few years later, coincides with the large group that bears the name Terra Moretti and produces excellent and exclusive wines in various corners of Italy. The name of the winery, this is something that few people know, refers to the hill on which the company stands and from which one can admire Lake Iseo, the Po Valley and the nearby Alps at a glance. Today, the estate can count on over one hundred plots of land scattered throughout the territory from which the grapes used for the production of classic method sparkling wines come. Approximately one and a half million bottles per year. But there is no need to worry if the numbers look decidedly large. The house style is impeccable and all the wines have a clearly recognisable character. Ensuring this, since 2024, is none other than the internationally renowned oenologist Richard Geoffroy, for more than 20 years the creative mind behind Maison Dom Pérignon. At Bellavista, Geoffroy will perform the delicate task of mentoring Francesca Moretti, at the head of her technical team.
