Franciacorta Rosé Extra Brut 'Alma Assemblage 1' Bellavista

Bellavista's Franciacorta Rosé Extra Brut 'Alma Assemblage 1' is a Metodo Classico to be appreciated for its delicate aromas of flowers and citrus fruits. The 'Alma Assemblage 1' collection fully reflects the Bellavista style, a style based on the enhancement of terroir in its most refined form. This Rosé version comes from a skilful blending of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes and is already striking from its antique pink colour.

The Franciacorta 'Alma Assemblage 1' Bellavista Rosé Extra Brut originates from a blend of Chardonnay (60%) and Pinot Noir (40%) from no less than 26 main plots in the Franciacorta region. The vines have an average age of almost 30 years and the harvest is carried out entirely by hand in small crates to preserve the integrity of the bunches. Short maceration takes place directly in the press and about 25% of the wine matures in oak barrels. The sparkling wine base is then created through the addition of reserve wine from the previous two vintages, with re-fermentation in the bottle taking place according to the Metodo Classico, combined with 30 months on the lees. This is followed by disgorgement and then final dosage as Extra Brut, with 3 g/l residual sugar.

Bellavista Rosé 'Alma Assemblage 1' Franciacorta Extra Brut is a luminous, antique pink colour with a subtle, persistent effervescence. The nose has inviting aromas of orange blossom and candied citrus fruits, surrounded by hints of small berries and sweet spices. The sip is striking for its envelopment and fragrance, with brilliant freshness supporting the taut, mineral finish of great harmony. Thanks to these fine organoleptic characteristics, the Rosé 'Alma Assemblage 1' is a highly gastronomic sparkling wine, to be paired as much with cured meats and fine cheeses as with seafood dishes.
