PRODOTTO DA SOC.AGR. BELLAVISTA VITICOLTORI IN ERBUSCO - ITALIA
This is the heart of Alma Assemblage 1. The most authentic expression of Franciacorta according to Bellavista. But let us proceed with order. Franciacorta is an area that certainly needs no introduction. It is a small wine-growing oasis between Lake Iseo and the moraine hills. Its mild climate and mineral-rich soils make it ideal for growing grapes of the highest quality. It is no coincidence that the Franciacorta DOCG appellation is today synonymous with sparkling wine excellence. Alma Assemblage 1 Non Dosato comes from a careful selection of Chardonnay (76%) and Pinot Noir (24%) grapes, from 30 vineyards distributed among the best parcels of Franciacorta. The vineyards, with an average age of 27-28 years, yield clusters that express a profound aromatic maturity. Harvested strictly by hand, the bunches are collected in small 13 kg crates to preserve their integrity. The flower must, obtained by soft pressing, is the heart of the cuvée. A portion of the wine (31%) matures in wooden pièces to add structure and elegance. After bottling and prise de mousse, the wine matures for at least 30 months on the lees, developing complexity and depth. Finally, the ‘zero dosage’ enhances its purity, letting the natural characteristics of the grapes and terroir do the talking. In the glass, it has a brilliant yellow colour, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, a citrus and floral bouquet, with touches of sweet spices, thyme and a fresh Mediterranean note. The palate is assertive, dynamic, with a vibrant freshness interwoven with a complex, crisp structure. The finish is long, elegant, perfectly balanced between maturity and vivacity. Good already, this Franciacorta DOCG, thanks to its structure and long ageing, also reveals excellent ageing potential. It can certainly evolve for at least 5-7 years, enriching itself with more complex tertiary notes. When it is uncorked, however, we will discover a great wine for the whole meal. Perfect with refined aperitifs or raw fish dishes, Alma Assemblage 1 Non Dosato also expresses itself magnificently with delicate first courses and soft cheeses. Ideal for special moments or elegant dinners.
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.
