ABOUT
Bellavista Alma Gran Cuvee is grown and made in the Franciacorta DOCG region, in Lombardy. Franciacorta, is known for producing Italy's finest sparkling wines and the region is seen as Italy's 'answer' to Champagne. The Alma Gran Cuvee takes 40 months to make, from harvest to release. Cuvee is mostly made from Chardonnay with small amounts of Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianca. It shows aromas and flavours of ripe peach and nectarine, along with brioche, citrus peel and pastry. Good acidity combined with a strong minerality and a creamy mousse gives this wine a beautiful and long finish. Impressive with seafood or on its own as an apperitif.
