ALMA IS…
Alma is the grand tapestry of Franciacorta. Crafted from a wine-growing heritage representing the entire territory, Alma stems from the wisdom required to interpret all the grapes as the most authentic and generous expression of our land. It is a blend that draws its essence from over 100 unique base wines, each with a sculpted and unmistakable aromatic profile. The course of the seasons leaves its mark on these wines, from one harvest to the next.
Alma embodies the vitality of Monte Guglielmo and the complexity of the Ora wind that blows from Lake Iseo to Favento. It is all the history, art and culture of Franciacorta at Villa Lechi and the power and vigour of the terraces of Uccellanda. Alma is the altitude and temperature variations of Rocchetta, the slow ripening, the view of the Torbiato peat bogs and the continuity and coolness of the woods on the Bellavista hill. Alma is as deep and rooted as Sasso, our foundation stone, and encapsulates the biodiversity and majesty of the Valle d’Oro. Alma is the genesis and massal selection at Cancello, the consistency and energy of Pinot Nero in the Casotte vineyard, and the consistency and finesse of Chardonnay in the Brede vineyard. Alma is the soul of the chestnut tree in the Ceppate vineyard. Alma is in every person who cares for Alma.
A NEW CLASSIC
Being contemporary while remaining classic: this is our commitment. Writing the future is an act of faith, a journey that requires courage and evokes strong emotions. Thus, with our hearts anchored in yesterday and our eyes turned to tomorrow, a new path opens up for Bellavista. This is not a simple passing of the baton, but the birth of a new vision, where the art of wine becomes an expression of our evolving times, without ever severing the unbreakable bond that ties our essence to what we have been.
ALMA BECOMES AN EDITION:
EVERY YEAR
A NEW BEGINNING
Every beginning brings with it the power of rebirth. Today, Francesca Moretti, Richard Geoffroy, and the women and men of Bellavista have the task of preserving the past and forging the new. With respect and vision, they move with a quiet equilibrium: never ceasing to look further ahead, as much pioneers today as they were in the past.
ALMA TRILOGY
ASSEMBLAGE 1
OUR SENSE OF PLACE
Alma Assemblage represents our most authentic interpretation of Franciacorta.
It is the highest expression of a project born in 1977 with the aim of seeking the pure essence of harmony.
Today, it is the symbol of a tradition that embodies the most mysterious soul of our land and the winemaking style of Bellavista. It is a heartfelt homage to the place where we planted our roots, loving and protecting them. It encapsulates a viticultural heritage that reflects the meticulous care we devote to each stage of production and the respect we grant to time, choosing nature and its extraordinary biodiversity as our only guide. Each harvest is a new beginning, an act of listening and interpreting nature.
The composition of the cuvée is a complex process that requires balancing the style of the winery with the peculiarities of the vintage, ensuring the constancy of the wine’s sensory profile. Tradition evolves and is renewed every year.
