Alma Bellavista Grande Cuvée - Franciacorta DOCG
Alma Grande Cuvée is the maximum expression of the Franciacorta Method of the Bellavista winery, a now rare artisan method. Blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and a small part of Pinot Bianco, Alma Brut is born from the union of about 60 selections of grapes from the same harvest but from different vineyards (horizontal assembly) with some "reserve" wines from previous vintages (blending vertical) that enrich the already ample olfactory and gustatory heritage of Alma Cuvée. Important is the fermentation and élevage of part of the base wines in small white oak barrels which give Alma intensity and complexity. The result is a Franciacorta of excellent elegance and persuasive finesse, with a vibrant character supported without any compromise by a freshness that maintains its persistence for a long time.

A document of 1340 chronicles a dispute before the royal, court concerning the possession of a particularly sought after fief in the district of "Casalj Rabitallavi”. This was the ancient name of Tenuta Rapitalà. Vigna Casalj di Rapitalà is a Sicilian white wine made from Catarratto grapes, with clear Mediterranean references of sage, tomato leaf and capers. The terroir gives it freshness and minerality.
