Bellavista - Alma Terra - Curtefranca

Bellavista is a renowned Italian winery that has been producing some of the finest wines in the world for over 40 years. Their Alma Terra Curtefranca is a true masterpiece that showcases the best of Italian winemaking.

The Alma Terra Curtefranca is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc grapes, which are carefully selected from the best vineyards in the Curtefranca area. The wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, which gives it a complex and elegant taste profile.

On the nose, the Alma Terra Curtefranca has a rich and intense aroma of blackcurrant, blackberry, and cherry, with hints of vanilla, tobacco, and leather. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with a perfect balance of fruit, tannins, and acidity. The finish is long and persistent, with a pleasant aftertaste of dark chocolate and spices.

The history of Bellavista dates back to the early 1970s when Vittorio Moretti, a successful businessman, decided to pursue his passion for winemaking. He purchased a small vineyard in Franciacorta, a region in Lombardy known for its sparkling wines, and started experimenting with different grape varieties and winemaking techniques.

Over the years, Bellavista has become one of the most respected wineries in Italy, thanks to its commitment to quality and innovation. The winery has invested heavily in research and development, and has introduced new grape varieties and winemaking methods that have helped to elevate the quality of Italian wines.

The Alma Terra Curtefranca is a perfect example of Bellavista's dedication to excellence. It is a wine that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of dishes, such as grilled meats, pasta with tomato sauce, or aged cheeses.

If you are looking for a wine that combines tradition and innovation, elegance and complexity, the Alma Terra Curtefranca is the perfect choice. It is a wine that will delight your senses and leave a lasting impression on your palate. So, why not treat yourself to a bottle today and experience the best of Italian winemaking?

With the Bellavista Alma Terra Curtefranca, a first-class white wine arrives in the glass. It reveals a magnificent, brilliant golden-yellow color. If you give it a little air in the wine glass by shaking it, you can perceive a perfect balance in this white wine, because it does not appear watery, syrupy or syrupy on the walls of the glass. The first nose of Alma Terra Curtefranca reveals nuances of rose, lemongrass and pink grapefruit. To the fruity aspects of the bouquet are added notes from barrel ageing, such as even more fruity and balsamic nuances. Bellavista Alma Terra Curtefranca presents itself to wine lovers as a deliciously dry wine. This white wine never appears coarse or austere, as one might expect from a premium wine and a terroir wine. On the tongue, this balanced white wine is characterized by an incredibly melting and creamy texture. On the finish, this white wine from the wine-growing region of Lombardy delights with its exceptional length. We again find notes of lime and honeysuckle. At the end of the palate, mineral notes from the soils dominated by marl and sand are added.
