Hi Daniele,

2.8-3 vols sounds fine for this sort of beer—definitely not too high, assuming you want it bubbly.

Be aware, however, that WLP644 is not a wild yeast. It was mislabeled by White Labs for years and is in fact a saccharomyces strain (albeit STA1).

I've used WLP644 and its equivalents from other yeast companies. It is not belgiany or wild in any way. It is also used in IPAs and NEIPAs, so it's definitely fruity when fermented warm. So don't expect it to be belgiany in any way, although a slight tartness might be produced, which makes lighter beers refreshing to drink.

2.8 vol. CO2 will make it bubbly, but not overly so.
