Franciacorta Rosé Extra Brut 'Alma Assemblage 2' Bellavista

Bellavista's Franciacorta Rosé Extra Brut 'Alma Assemblage 2' is a Metodo Classico to be appreciated for its delicate aromas of flowers and citrus fruits. The 'Alma Assemblage 2' collection fully reflects the Bellavista style, a style based on enhancing the territory in its most refined form. This Rosé version is the result of a skilful blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes and is striking for its antique pink colour.

Franciacorta 'Alma Assemblage 2' Bellavista Rosé Extra Brut originates from a blend of Chardonnay (60%) and Pinot Noir (40%) from 26 main plots in the Franciacorta area. 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. The 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 by adding reserve wine from the two previous harvests, with refermentation in the bottle according to the Metodo Classico method, combined with 30 months of ageing on the lees. This is followed by disgorging and then final dosage as Extra Brut, with 3 g/l of residual sugar.

Bellavista Rosé 'Alma Assemblage 2' Franciacorta Extra Brut is an antique, bright pink colour with subtle, persistent effervescence. The nose reveals inviting aromas of orange blossom and candied citrus fruits, accompanied by hints of small berries and sweet spices. The palate is striking for its enveloping and fragrant character, with brilliant freshness supporting a tense and mineral finish of great harmony. Thanks to these valuable organoleptic characteristics, Rosé 'Alma' is a highly gastronomic sparkling wine, to be paired with fine cured meats and cheeses as well as seafood dishes.
