The Franciacorta DOCG Cuvèe Brut "Alma" by Bellavista comes from the skilful union of about 60 of the 120 harvest selections obtained in the cellar. About 100 selections come from the same harvest and are identified with extreme care in 107 parcels distributed in 10 different municipalities of Franciacorta ("horizontal assembly"). To this vast patrimony of olfactory and gustatory variants are then added the aromas and flavors of particular "reserve wines" from different vintages ("vertical assembly"). A unique cuvée, which with its elegant complexity represents the most complete and often mysterious soul of Franciacorta.

It is told through a sensory profile that evolves giving altogether sapidity, freshness, finesse, elegance and agility: the result is simply superlative, given by the Franciacorta Non Dosato "Alma Grande Cuvée", labeled Bellavista . A bubble that wants to become the symbol of the purest essence of the lands of Franciacorta, proposing a sip with which Bellavista drops its mask, retracing its history in a contemporary key. Here then is that every detail - label included - becomes a reference to the concept of harmony, both external and connected to the precious content. The apparent - and intended - aesthetic minimalism, again, finally connects with a Franciacorta that remains suspended in time, as if to recall the impossibility of finding glasses of a similar caliber.

Il Palagio is located above the picturesque Tuscan town of Figline Valdarno. For the last two decades it has been the summer home of Sting and Trudie's growing family and the site of many of their intimate parties, private concerts and anniversaries. The villa, its guest houses, vineyards and olive groves have been lovingly restored by Sting and Trudie and is now a fully functioning, living organic farm and vineyard.

Fruit of all the attention and care that distinguish the production of Bellavista , Franciacorta Rosé is born from an assembly of the best grapes of pinot noir and chardonnay, a sparkling wine where the structure of the first meets the grace of the second. The essence of pinot noir not only gives color an important role of tonality and stability, but also becomes the elusive, delicate and constant taste-olfactory trait that makes a graceful masterpiece of nature distinctive. An extraordinary Franciacorta, whose permanence in the cellar is at least 5 years.

The Gran Cuvée millesimato of Bellavista differs from the traditional Bruts not only for the quality of the raw material that is used but also and above all for the fact that over a quarter of the wines from which it is made matures for seven months in small oak barrels. Bellavista 's Franciacorta DOCG Brut is in fact a magnificent Franciacorta for stature and balance, the result of a not abundant vintage but of excellent quality. A mythical sparkling wine.

The result of a rigorous selection in the vineyard, Bellavista 's “Gran Cuvée” Satèn is produced in very limited quantities. It is in fact the first Italian experience in the creation of a great Franciacorta designed thanks to the ancient technology of "small barrels" with the aim of enhancing and interpreting, through a style that can be defined as "feminine", the chardonnay from the best Bellavista vineyards. The result is a velvety and enthralling sparkling wine, a true paradigm among the Satèn of Franciacorta.

The Franciacorta for those who do not like compromises, the Dosaggio Zero is certainly the most vertical, direct, lashing one.

Inevitable.

The Franciacorta Pas Operé by Bellavista is a full-bodied and intense classic method sparkling wine, not dosed, coming from historical vineyards and aged on the lees in the bottle for 72 months.
