“Alma” Franciacorta Gran Cuvée DOCG (2021) brut
Alma Gran Cuvée brut - a Franciacorta in the classic Bellavista style, modern yet very elegant and complex. Aromatic bouquet, fine perlage, wonderfully integrated fruit on the palate with a delicate mellowness, plus well-balanced acidity, harmoniously long and deep. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright green-yellow with golden reflections and persistent perlage. Finely characterised nose of apple and citrus fruit, also reminiscent of candle wax, with a subtle hint of marzipan on the final. Crisp on the palate, with airy perlage and a clear fruit centre, stretches across the palate with light pressure and shows fine wood spice, balanced in the final." Falstaff
"An aromatic bouquet of floral, green melon and sweet spice aromas introduces the NV Brut Franciacorta Alma Grande Cuvée. This is seamlessly silken and round with brilliant acidity and crisp orchard fruits complicated by a tinge of ground ginger toward the close. A saline sensation lingers along with hints of lime as this finishes with an intense, crunchy character. Very nice." Vinous
"Aromas of acacia honey, white pepper, green apples and lemon pulp with fresh pastry. Strong acidity with a lean body, but a fine, creamy mousse. Good finish." James Suckling

“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. This is followed by fresh and intense notes of yellow fruit, nectarine and lychee 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
"Pale onion skin colour with fine perlage. Nose of fresh orange, some tangerine, wet stone, delicate, light blossom on the finish, inviting. Beautiful precision on the palate, very restrained fruit, pure, very dry." Falstaff

“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,
"Bright straw yellow with persistent perlage. Precise nose of grapefruit, lemon, some wild strawberry, sea salt, intense and appealing, with fine notes of fresh cream on the finish. Juicy, precise, clear on the palate, with a beautiful drive and fine perlage, balanced and harmonious." Falstaff
"The Franciacorta Alma Grande Cuvée Non Dosato is remarkably fresh. A whiff of white smoke gives way to hints of dried flowers, crusty brioche and ginger-spiked apples. This opens with a pretty inner sweetness offset by saline mineral tones and tart orchard fruits. It finishes long and full of tension, leaving a salty flourish savory spice nuances." Vinous

Fine foam caresses the palate, while the refreshing acidity and creamy, mineral texture glide gently over the tongue. The finish is characterised by an invigorating freshness that allows the floral accents to linger for a long time. Young and dynamic with plenty of potential for maturity." Falstaff
"Bright and crisp fruit flavours, accompanied by lemon peel, flow from the glass. Light yeasty notes add complexity, while crisp acidity provides freshness. The wine is fruit-driven, with a slight minerality and a hint of yellow flowers." Wine Enthusiast

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
