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 across Franciacorta, with vines averaging nearly 30 years of age. Hand-harvested in small crates, the grapes undergo a brief maceration in the press, and about 25% of the wine matures in oak barrels. The cuvée is enhanced by reserve wines from the two previous vintages. Bottle fermentation follows the Metodo Classico, with an aging of 30 months on the lees, concluded with disgorgement and Extra Brut dosage (3 g/l). It displays a brilliant antique pink hue with a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it reveals orange blossom, candied citrus, wild berries, and sweet spices. The palate is creamy, fragrant, tense, and mineral, with a fresh, harmonious finish. Perfect with fine cured meats, aged cheeses, and seafood dishes.

Bellavista
When talking about the greatest Franciacortas of all time, it is impossible not to immediately think of Bellavista, one of the most prestigious maisons in the Brescia area. Its labels have marked the history of the denomination, becoming a point of reference for enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
The origins of this reality of excellence date back to 1977, when Vittorio Moretti chose to invest in the hills around Erbusco with an idea 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 contributed significantly to the qualitative evolution of Franciacorta.
The name "Bellavista" draws inspiration from the hill on which the winery stands, a place from which the gaze embraces Lake Iseo, the Po Valley and the Alps. A breathtaking panorama, a mirror of the beauty that can be found in every glass produced. Today, Bellavista can count on over one hundred plots distributed throughout the denomination territory: a wealth of soils, microclimates and exposures that gives uniqueness and complexity to each cuvée.
The Bellavista style is synonymous with elegance, precision and recognisability. Each bottle that is born in the Erbusco cellar is the fruit of meticulous work and a coherent vision. With a vineyard area of nearly 200 hectares and an annual production that approaches 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 profound 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 an oenological art made of passion, rigor and authenticity.
Address:
Via Bellavista, 5 - 25030 Erbusco (BS), Italy
Color: delicate, bright salmon pink. The visual appearance recalls elegance and precision, with coppery reflections that enhance its vivacity.
Perlage: fine and continuous that testifies to the long refermentation in the bottle.
Bouquet: refined and layered profile, in which notes of wild strawberries, pomegranate and orange peel blend with more complex accents of pink pepper, dried rose petals and light toasting, the result of fermentation partially in wood and aging on the yeasts. The olfactory impression is intense but balanced, with an aromatic progression that oscillates between fruity freshness and spicy depth.
Taste: lively, elegant and silky, with an enveloping structure supported by a lively acidity and a well-integrated mineral component. The sip is dynamic, with fruity and citrus returns consistent with the nose, and a taut and savory finish, of great persistence. The Extra Brut dosage enhances the precision of the cut and the vertical character of the wine, without compromising its softness.

THE COMPANY
There is no passion in naming those that are the greatest Franciacorta of all time, do not immediately think of some of the bottles produced by one of the most important "maison" of Brescia: Bellavista.
The history of this very important winery has distant roots: it is in fact in 1977 that Vittorio Moretti decides to invest in the countryside surrounding Erbusco, with the intention of producing sparkling wines capable of rivaling, in quality, with the famous French Champagne. A vision that has become reality from nothing, with the birth of a production fabric that is probably unique in terms of dynamism and qualitative growth. The name of the winery derives from the hill on which it stands, and from which you can look at Lake Iseo, towards the Po Valley and towards the nearby Alps: a place of rare beauty. Today Bellavista collects the fruits of more than one hundred plots scattered like a leopard patch in the whole territory of the denomination, sources of that geological and climatic diversity that is at the base of the success of this winery, symbol not only of Franciacorta but of all Italy of wine.
Every year the bottles that come out of the Erbusco plant stand out for their elegance and stylistic precision, so much so that they can be immediately recognizable. A real "Bellavista style".
Currently the vineyard area is close to two hundred hectares, for a production of nearly a million and a half bottles per year. Brut, Extra Brut, Satèn, then the Riserva Vittorio Moretti, the Nectar, the unsurpassable Alma Gran Cuvée and the fantastic Pas Operé: all the labels that go under the name of "Bellavista" represent for years a firm and undisputed point for all the lovers of Franciacorta sparkling wines. Sparkling wines, those that come from the Erbusco winery, the undisputed symbol of the highest Made in Italy, and the undisputed synonym of originality, quality and excellence.
