“Alma” Franciacorta Gran Cuvée Rosé DOCG (2020) brut
Radiant rosé with golden reflections. Fine, refined perlage with a dynamic foam. Its generous aromas are characterised by fragrant nuances of white Mediterranean flowers that harmonise with ripe citrus fruits. Fresh and intense notes of yellow fruits, nectarines and lychees are then revealed with generous accents of red berries, pomegranate and pink elderflower. In between, there are delicate notes of white chocolate, cocoa, almonds and marzipan. The flavour corresponds perfectly with the nose and is subtle, silky, seductive and persistent. The fine structure reveals a unique lightness. Long lasting persistence. We are delighted by its crystalline freshness and linearity. SUPERIORE.DE

“Alma” Franciacorta Gran Cuvée DOCG non dosato
Here comes the new archaic form of Franciacorta - hardly any residual sugar, no dosage, but purism in its purest form. Fresh and direct on the nose, yet finely polished and not exuberant. Extremely elegant on the palate with a fine perlage and plenty of agility. For all its vivacity, it is always sensual, almost distinguished and discreetly subtle and of the greatest harmony. A fresh and crisp fine sparkling wine from the best house and one of the most characterful representatives of its kind at the moment. SUPERIORE.DE
"Freshly sliced green apples, mint and sweet smoke emanate from the NV Franciacorta Non-Dosato Grande Cuvée Alma. It washes over the palate with mineral bubbles accompanied by juicy, ripe fruit. It refreshes the senses, is crisp and has an astonishing length, while a salty note contrasts with lime zest and sweet spices slowly fade away." Vinous

The wine lover Vittorio Moretti aims to express the special character of his native Franciacorta in sparkling and still wines. Today, the Bellavista winery in Lombardy, world-famous above all for its spumanti, is at the head of Terra Moretti, the family holding managed by the successful entrepreneur and his daughter Francesca. Other important agricultural companies in Lombardy and Tuscany belong to the group. With its brilliant sparkling wines, Bellavista is one of the great role models of the up-and-coming region. The Hotel L is located in Erbusco between vines and cypresses.'Albereta Relay & Châteaux.
All the grapes used for the production of the sparkling wines are produced using the classic method of bottle fermentation, without exception, from our own vineyards, which are spread over ten municipalities of Franciacorta and which are cultivated with great care. The sensitive General Manager Mattia Vezzola, elected Oenologist of the Year by the Wine Guide Gambero Rossoin 2008, has put all his energy into the work in the vineyard and cellar since 1981. His philosophy, combined with strict handwork, gentle pressing of the grapes and long ageing in small woods, gives the multiple award-winning Franciacorta cuvées from Bellavista, distinguished by their strength and character, a high recognition value. The style of Bellavista's drops, bottled every year in well over a million bottles, is refined, elegant and complex.
In the Lombard wine-growing estate with a view of the Lago d'Iseo works in harmony with nature. Fidelity to the terroir is another important feature. Vezzola only allows the grapes to be harvested when they are optimally ripe. Most of the berries are not fermented in steel tanks but in barriques to give the wines longevity and structure. The fullness of the palate is characteristic of Bellavista wines, which age in underground galleries for at least four years before being sold. The noblest plants can even mature for seven years.
Vittorio Moretti, once a contractor in Lombardy, had inherited several hectares of vineyards from his grandfather. He named his first vineyard after the hill on which the parcels were located: Bellavista. The charismatic winegrower was one of the first to invest in Franciacorta on a large scale in the seventies. Today, the melodious estate name is associated with around 190 hectares of vineyards, the grapes of which are bottled in well over a million bottles every year. SUPERIORE.DE
