A tale of light, precision and territory. Alma Assemblage 2 is the result of an energetic and luminous 2022 harvest, the product of an intense summer and mature vines that have transformed the climatic challenge into pure elegance. This is where Bellavista's Franciacorta comes into its own: 75 vineyards, 93 selections, a mosaic of plots tended to one by one, where every gesture in the vineyard becomes part of a larger project. In the cellar, the signature of Francesca Moretti and Richard Geoffroy gives shape to a meticulous blend: Chardonnay in the foreground, supported by Pinot Noir and a touch of Pinot Blanc, patiently aged to express tension, harmony and brilliance. In the glass, it is bright yellow, with a very fine and creamy perlage. The nose reveals Mediterranean flowers, citrus fruits, sweet spices and balsamic notes. The palate is sculpted and gentle: pomelo, white plum, wildflower honey and candied citrus fruits create a savoury-mineral texture of great definition. A Franciacorta that tells not only of a vintage, but of a place, a method, an identity. It is Bellavista's “Sense of Place” at its most luminous.
