Bellavista Alma Assemblage 2 Extra Brut Franciacorta DOCG
How does a top Franciacorta distinguish itself from other sparkling wines? Bellavista leaves no doubt about this with the Alma Assemblage 2. This Extra Brut is their flagship, composed of grapes from 60 different vineyards, spread across a mosaic of microclimates around Erbusco. The result is a Franciacorta with tension, finesse, and richness, made according to an unprecedentedly detailed method that prioritizes quality over quantity at every stage.
Vineyards and region
Bellavista's vineyards are among the best positioned in Franciacorta, with eastern and south-western exposure and a wide variety of soils. The vines are 27 to 28 years old and form the basis for the expressive style of this cuvée. The density is 5000 vines per hectare, a conscious choice for intensity and concentration. To preserve quality to the maximum, harvesting is exclusively done by hand. Each grape is picked between August 25 and September 4, 2021, and collected in small crates of 13 kilos. This keeps the bunches intact until pressing.
Vinification and aging
The grapes are pressed in three fractions, of which only the first and second juices are used for the blend. A portion of the base wine ages in small French oak barrels, the rest in stainless steel. In 2022, the tirage was carried out: a process in which the wine is bottled with yeast and sugar for a second fermentation. This was followed by an aging sur lie of an average of 30 months. Even the turning of the bottles (remuage) is done manually, a detail that underscores Bellavista's dedication.
Grape composition
Chardonnay – 86%
For freshness, elegance, and citrus-driven aromas.
Pinot Noir – 13%
Provides structure, body, and ripe red fruit.
Pinot Blanc – 1%
Adds subtlety and finesse to the whole.
Tasting notes and serving suggestions
The color is bright golden yellow with a vibrant sparkle. The mousse is silky soft and refined. The aroma combines Mediterranean flowers, citrus zest, and subtle brioche. The taste is lively, precise, and creamy at the same time, with a fresh acidity and a mineral finish that lingers. Serve at 8 to 10 °C with refined dishes such as langoustine, lemon risotto, or scallop carpaccio.
