Franciacorta DOCG Extra Brut Rose' 'Alma Assemblage 1' (750 ml.) Bellavista
Franciacorta Rosé Extra Brut ‘Alma Assemblage 1’ by Bellavista is a refined Metodo Classico made from 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir sourced from 26 selected crus in Franciacorta, with vines nearly 30 years old. The manual harvest preserves the integrity of the grapes, the maceration takes place in press, and about 25% of the wine matures in barrique. The sparkling base is enriched with reserve wines from the two previous vintages. This is followed by bottle fermentation using the Metodo Classico and aging for 30 months on the lees, before disgorging and an Extra Brut dosage (3 g/l). The color is antique pink, bright, with a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it releases orange blossom, candied citrus, small red fruits, and sweet spices. The palate is creamy, fragrant, taut, and mineral, with a fresh and harmonious finish. Perfect with fine cured meats and seafood dishes.

Bellavista
When talking about the greatest Franciacorta ever, it is impossible not to immediately think of Bellavista, one of the most prestigious maisons in Brescia. Its labels have marked the history of the denomination, becoming a reference point for enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
The origins of this excellence date back to 1977, when Vittorio Moretti chose to invest in the hills around Erbusco with an idea that was as ambitious as it was visionary: to produce sparkling wines capable of competing with the most famous French Champagnes. From that dream, a solid and dynamic project was born, which has significantly contributed to the qualitative evolution of Franciacorta.
The name "Bellavista" is inspired by the hill on which the winery stands, a place from which the view embraces Lake Iseo, the Po Valley, and the Alps. A breathtaking panorama, a reflection of the beauty found in every glass produced. Today, Bellavista can count on over a hundred plots distributed throughout the territory of the denomination: a wealth of soils, microclimates, and exposures that gives uniqueness and complexity to each cuvée.
The Bellavista style is synonymous with elegance, precision, and recognizability. Every bottle that is born in the Erbusco winery is the result of meticulous work and a coherent vision. With a vineyard area close to 200 hectares and an annual production approaching one and a half million bottles, Bellavista offers a range that includes Brut, Extra Brut, Satèn, Riserva Vittorio Moretti, Nectar, Alma Gran Cuvée, and the refined Pas Operé.
Each label tells a story of excellence and deep territorial identity. Bellavista is not just a symbol of Franciacorta: it is an emblem of the best Made in Italy, an ambassador in the world of a winemaking art made of passion, rigor, and authenticity.
Address:
Via Bellavista, 5 - 25030 Erbusco (BS), Italy
Color: delicate, bright salmon pink. The visual appearance evokes elegance and precision, with coppery reflections that enhance its liveliness.
Perlage: fine and continuous, testament to the long refermentation in the bottle.
Bouquet: refined and layered profile, where notes of wild strawberries, pomegranate, and orange peel blend with more complex accents of pink pepper, dried rose petals, and light toasting, resulting from partial fermentation in wood and aging on the lees. The olfactory impression is intense yet balanced, with an aromatic progression that oscillates between fruity freshness and spicy depth.
Taste: lively, elegant, and silky, with a enveloping structure supported by vibrant acidity and a well-integrated mineral component. The sip is dynamic, with fruity and citrus returns consistent with the nose, and a taut, savory finish of great persistence. The Extra Brut dosage enhances the precision of the cut and the wine's vertical character, without compromising its softness.

THE COMPANY
There is no wine lover who, when naming the greatest Franciacorta wines of all time, does not immediately think of some of the bottles produced by one of the most important "maisons" in Brescia: Bellavista.
The story of this very important winery has distant roots: it was in 1977 that Vittorio Moretti decided to invest in the countryside surrounding Erbusco, with the intention of producing sparkling wines capable of competing, in quality, with the famous French Champagnes. A vision that from nothing became reality, with the birth of a production fabric that is probably unique for its dynamism and qualitative growth. The name of the winery derives from the hill on which it stands, from which one can gaze towards Lake Iseo, the Po Valley, and the nearby Alps: a place of rare beauty. Today Bellavista reaps the fruits of over a hundred plots scattered like a leopard's spots throughout the territory of the denomination, sources of the geological and climatic diversity that underpins the success of this winery, a symbol not only of Franciacorta but of all Italian wine.
The bottles that leave the Erbusco facility every year all stand out for their elegance and stylistic precision, making them immediately recognizable. A true “Bellavista style.”
Currently, the vineyard area approaches two hundred hectares, with a production that nears one and a half million bottles annually. Brut, Extra Brut, Satèn, then the Riserva Vittorio Moretti, the Nectar, the unbeatable Alma Gran Cuvée, and the fantastic Pas Operé: all the labels under the name “Bellavista” have represented for years a solid and undisputed point for all lovers of Franciacorta bubbles. The sparkling wines that come from the Erbusco winery are an undisputed symbol of the highest Made in Italy, and an uncontested synonym of originality, quality, and excellence.
