Franciacorta DOCG Extra Brut Alma Assemblage 2 Bellavista

Alma Assemblage represents one of the most emblematic expressions of Bellavista's production philosophy, highlighting the terroir through a careful selection of 75 vineyards mostly distributed in the historical crus of the company. Created with a blend consisting of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and a very small percentage of Pinot Blanc, it fully reflects the elegance and complexity typical of the Bellavista style, also thanks to the average maturity of the vines, which is about thirty years, and the refined agronomic management.

The winemaking process involves a gentle pressing that allows the separation of free-run juice from the successive 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 disgorgement.

In the glass, it presents a brilliant yellow with a very fine and persistent perlage, enriched by a creamy and pinpoint effervescence. 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 savory-mineral vein that provides balance and depth; notes of pomelo, white plum, millefiori honey, and candied citrus emerge, blending into a long and harmonious taste persistence.

Perfect to pair with raw fish, tuna tartare, or delicate crustacean-based risottos.
