Alma Assemblage 2 is the most representative expression of Bellavista's winemaking heritage; it is the emblem of our understanding of the territory, Our Sense of Place.

HARVEST DIARY

The winter of 2022 was distinguished by unusually mild

and dry weather, a trend that also continued through the

spring months. At the end of March, slightly later than the previous

year, the vines began to bud,

inaugurating a growing season that saw

a rapid and concentrated flowering, mainly

in the second half of May. The lack of rainfall

in the early months of the year had a two-fold impact on the vintage:

it favored excellent grape health, protecting them

from disease, and required the vines to have a greater ability

to adapt, particularly on thin soils.

From mid-June, the summer became

markedly hot, with high temperatures.

The rains, though rare, arrived at the most opportune times: those of July 28th and 29th, in particular,

helped restore the soil's water balance, supporting

the continuation of ripening.

The vine continued its cycle without interruption,

displaying green and vital canopies, a sign of vegetative health that remained excellent until the harvest.

The 2022 harvest began early, on August 8th,

favored by a drop in temperatures that

preserved the freshness and aromatic finesse of the grapes.

It concluded on August 24th, at the end of a season that

required attention and interpretative sensitivity, but which

rewarded the most balanced vineyards – especially the

maturest ones, whose roots, sinking deep,

found precious resources to support the plant in the

driest periods.

The result is a vintage of great elegance and structure, capable

of coherently expressing a territory that knows the strength

of resilience and the harmony of natural balance.

SENSORY PROFILE

Color

Bright yellow.

Perlage

Very fine and persistent, it is enveloped in a

creamy, pinpoint bubble.

Aroma

A subtle aromatic profile unfolds

in a subtle interplay of Mediterranean flowers,

citrus notes, delicate balsamic notes,

sweet spices.

It boasts freshness in an exceptional

balance of contrasts between tension

and expressive richness, traced in the wake

of the pure Bellavista style.

Flavor

A wine that encompasses all the variability of

nature, combining the terroir,

the grape variety, and the variety of vintages

that compose it.

Balanced, gentle, and structured, it reveals

complexity and fragrance on the palate, modeled

on a precious savory-mineral vein.

Pomelo, white plum, delicate

brushstrokes of wildflower honey, candied yellow

citrus fruits, are the synthesis of a delicious and well-defined palate, with a prolonged

taste.
