Bellavista, Alma Assemblage 2, Lombardy Franciacorta Extra Brut NV

A fine and persistent mousse with a delicate bouquet of Mediterranean flowers combined with lively citrus notes. Dynamic and taut on the palate with a mineral finish that adds depth and character. Well structured with lovely balance and natural freshness

The grapes undergo a slow and soft mechanical pressing in Coquard presses followed by decanting at cool temperatures. Fermentation of free run, 1st and 2nd pressed juice takes place using inoculated yeasts in stainless steel at between 15°C and 18°C and partly in barrel between 23°C and 28°C (around 32%), then matured for 6/7 months. The assemblage is created followed by vinification using the traditional method with second fermentation in the bottle, left on lees for around 30 months.
