Bellavista Alma Rosé Franciacorta DOCG Extra Brut 0,75 ℓ, Geschenketui

What kind of wine is it?Alma Assemblage Rosé by Bellavista is a Franciacorta Rosé Extra Brut crafted according to the strict Traditional Method, resulting from a harmonious blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. On the palate, it expresses a fresh and elegant style, well-balanced by a defined structure and clear depth of flavor. The winemaking process includes gentle pressing with exclusive extraction of the must flower and a subsequent ageing on the lees for about thirty months, with a portion of the base wine matured in oak barrels to enhance depth. This is a wine with a subtle texture, offering a lingering finish and an exact balance between acidity and minerality.Where does it come fromThe grapes used for this Extra Brut Rosé originate from carefully selected parcels within the Bellavista estate, located in the heart of Franciacorta, Lombardy. The meticulous selection of vines, with an average age of around twenty-eight years, ensures consistently high-quality and concentrated fruit. This viticultural factor is fundamental for shaping a well-measured flavor profile and faithfully reflecting the nuances of its native terroir. The careful approach in the vineyard promotes the creation of a sparkling wine with a precise and linear sip that brings out the unique features of the Lombard landscape.How is it produced?The manual harvest takes place between late August and early September to ensure the integrity of the grapes upon arrival at the cellar. The process continues with gentle pressing to obtain only the must flower, a key element for preserving the wine's natural finesse. In accordance with the rules of the Traditional Method, after blending, the wine spends about thirty months on the lees, enriched by a portion aged in oak barrels which provides additional structure. Summer bottling and manual riddling finally refine the perlage, offering a fine texture and a long progression on the palate.Tasting notesIn the glass, the wine displays a bright antique pink hue, enhanced by a fine, continuous and persistent perlage. The aromatic bouquet opens with delicate and well-defined scents, where clear notes of orange blossom and candied citrus stand out, giving a clean and precise olfactory impression. On the palate, it is fresh and crisp, supported by a calculated sense of volume that integrates with balanced sapidity. The finish is crystalline and long, maintaining a consistent tension on the palate that ensures a dry and perfectly focused taste experience.Food pairingsIts strong food-friendly nature makes it a refined aperitif for those who prefer a dry and crisp sparkling wine, but it truly reveals its versatility at the table. Its precise acidity and mineral texture pair seamlessly with fish and shellfish dishes that enhance the delicacy and juiciness of the flesh without overpowering them. Its good length on the palate also makes it suitable for white meat. It is particularly enjoyable paired with a delicate seafood dish, where its citrusy backbone cleanses the palate with finesse.When to serve itThis Franciacorta is the ideal choice when you wish to bring freshness and measured elegance to the glass, perfect for gracefully starting a dinner or accompanying a series of delicate courses. The long ageing on the lees and partial maturation in wood provide enough structure to support even structured gastronomic settings. The tasting reveals a reliable and refined profile, perfect for occasions that call for a focused and defined wine. Its clean and persistent sip guarantees a rewarding presence at the table, from the opening of the bottle to the end of the service.
