Franciacorta DOCG Extra Brut Alma Assemblage 2 Bellavista

Alma Assemblage 2 represents one of the most emblematic expressions of Bellavista's production philosophy, which enhances the territory through a careful selection of 75 vineyards mainly located in the company's historic crus. Made with a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and a very small percentage of Pinot Blanc, it fully reflects the elegance and complexity typical of Bellavista's style, thanks also to the average maturity of the vines, around thirty years, and the refined agronomic management.

The vinification takes place through a soft pressing that allows the separation of the free-run must from the subsequent cuts, while part of the mass is aged in small oak barrels to add structure and depth. The blending process also includes a large share of reserve wines from multiple vintages, thus contributing to the stylistic consistency and gustatory identity of the product. The bottling is followed by an average aging on the lees of about 30 months, and a manual riddling phase before disgorging.

In the glass, it reveals a bright yellow with a very fine and persistent perlage, enriched by a creamy pinpoint bubble. The aromatic bouquet opens with Mediterranean floral scents, fresh citrus, balsamic nuances, and sweet spices, outlining a refined and dynamic olfactory profile. On the palate, it is structured yet gentle, with a sapid-mineral vein that gives balance and depth; notes of pomelo, white plum, millefiori honey, and candied citrus emerge, blending into a long and harmonious gustatory persistence.

Perfectly paired with raw fish, tuna tartare, or delicate risottos with crustaceans.
