Franciacorta Demi-Sec DOCG Nectar Bellavista

Nectar is an artisanal refinement produced in very few bottles from the historic and prestigious Bellavista sparkling wine house: a pure and natural Demi-Sec, exclusively based on Chardonnay grapes, which come from 30 different high-hill vineyards characterized by a favourable southern exposure.

A rare vintage selection of bunches withered entirely on the plant undergoes the fermentation process, part of which takes place in small white oak barrels. The bubbles rest for at least 4 years in the cellars of Bellavista before being placed on the market. For both second fermentation and disgorgement, a sugar must is used, obtained from selected grapes dried on the plant which allows to sweeten the Nectar without obscuring its aromatic preciousness.

Straw-yellow coloured bubbles that tend to golden yellow with evolution, enriched with delicate greenish reflections, it has a persistent foam and a very fine and continuous perlage. The scent is broad and fragrant, with hints of candied white fruit, accompanied by sweet floral and honey notes. The wide, creamy and extremely soft mouth, faithfully corresponds to the notes perceived by the nose, with a sweet freshness that gives the wine an excellent balance and an endless persistence.

Excellent as an aperitif, it is the final touch for a special occasion, which perfectly accompanies dry pastries as well as cream cakes. Simply divine in the company of Sicilian cannoli.
